No, the American doctrine is fair use, and ours is fair dealing. The American is “such as”, and our law does not have “such as”. It's very limited to the specified exceptions, and it's a very narrow range of applications that we can use it for. It's very prescribed. If you go through all those six steps that the Supreme Court has laid out for us, you will see that what people are afraid of just could not happen. They are constrained by those six tests.
