Fair Use really only goes as far as Review and things like that but Let's Plays and Pariodies are actually protected under it, However U.S copyright law was several years out dated when it was made so it doesn't really work that well anymore, The problem is not only do most U.S law-makers admit to knowing next to nothing about the Internet, but you have people on both sides of the argument making very fair points. Unfortunatly this being the U.S the two sides are now outright refusing any sort of comprimise and going to more and more extreme lengths for the sole purpose of getting under the others skin. So until something earthshaking happens the issue isn't likely to be resolved..... personally I think there are just too many egotsitcal fuck heads (sorry for the launguage) involved in this for it to end any way but badly.
