Well, valid "fair use" cannot be unilateraly restricted, despite what a lot of publishers want you to believe. On the other hand, the Judges-L folk might claim that by subscribing, and not immediately unsubscribing when you learn the terms, it falls under license or contract law, rather than copyright. But as far as copyright law goes, they cannot say there is no "fair use" as the law says there is. Take it up with the copyright list ([log in to unmask]) (sorry, not a LISTSERV list, but it is *the* list for discussion of intelectual property laws).
