Wha?  I agree with Mark's point, but you've reached the wrong conclusion.

 

There's nothing about Fair Use which gives you a right to insist that he
show you the book again.  But if you do remember enough of it to quote, that
should be fine.  Also, if you managed to take a photo of the page he was
showing you, that'd be fine too (probably).

For some reason I didn't receive Mark's post. But like John, I, too, am
pleased to hear from you, Mark!

So what I hear Mark saying is that fair use does not mean "time-shifting".

Good to have you back, Mark.  I was thinking just the other day that your
observations were lacking in the room.
