Copyright is the EXPECTION to fair use.

Copyright is an option of Congress.
Fair Use at it's widest is what we have without copyright.
Copyright is a limited  exemption of some Fair Use rights of the use.

A small company (4-5 persons) buys a developement tool for one user only
(single user license). Can it install this tool for 5 persons ?
Can it install both at office and at home. Many developers work
both at office and at home. Is it within fare use right ?

If the company was forced to buy 5 users license it simply
would not use the tool at all.
Don't you feel that fare use term is slippery one.
In fact fare use is not about how many people use it but is about
mutual involvement into the business. It does not really
matter how many copies you create or how intensively you use it,
what matters is how much you compete with original copyright holder

Should we treat eating of someone's market pie as illegal action?
If your answer is yes then explain me why ? Is is because you gonna
lose your business ? What is wrong with dumping ? Is not the problem
in the lack of mutual responsibility ?
