Fair dealing comes nowhere close to fair use as our american cousins 
understand it and most discussions seem to assume it does.

Fair dealing is far more limited in scope, has lots more restrictions and 
results in a state where reasonable behaviour is illegal - indeed due to 
recent changed in copyright law it is now a criminal offence.
