Think of how many pieces of art/music/etc. may be seen or heard in a full 
length movie. Now think if we did not have fair use/dealing exceptions.Now 
think if copyright's reach is extended. (The push is on as anyone who is 
paying attention knows.) Every building, every article of clothing, every 
photo or painting seen in the movie, every mosaic on any floor, need I do on?
