you can't have it both ways (take the exclusive rights, and not accept the fair use)

fair use must be accepted by every copyright holder who claims the exclusive rights of copyright act whatever country it is that is defining the fair use rights
That still doesn't answer my question, because there is no such thing as fair use rights, unless I've been paid (in my example). Canadian laws can not give you right to something Canada didn't pay for. And I do not have to accept anything but my own laws - and my laws do not control my freedom to set a price myself...
