From what I saw, the positions taken by the estate were so absurd that any "standard" fair use analysis would have gone Professor Schloss's way. To me, the prime benefit of the fair use project is that even enforcing such settled rights is otherwise too expensive for most. If they make some new law in the process, then so much the better, but in the meantime they have clients to serve. It’s not clear to me that law would have been made.
