Using the same metrics as WIPO uses to calculate the contributions of the copyright industries, the study finds that the sectors relying on fair use generate trillions in revenue in the U.S., are growing faster than the economy as a whole, and employ 1 of every 8 workers.

Aw shucks. Now the copyright extremists can’t just pretend that fair use doesn’t exist. They actually have to give a damn about another power industry other than themselves. I feel so sorry for them. [/sarcasm]
