This comes up a lot at work.  The "fair use" concept seems to allow an
individual to make a single copy of a copyrighted book page (map, chart,
etc.) *which he/she owns,* for his/her OWN USE (not for resale or the
use of others -- no multiples).  

Seems to me this would allow me to take my NOAA chart, which I paid $16
- $17 for, and make a single copy of it for laminating.  When that copy
wears out, then I'd destroy it and make another one.  I would not make
multiples for friends or sell the dang things.

Whatcha say, Wynne?
