Hi, I'm a chilean reader. And you're right. Recently, we modify our copyright law. Before that, we had a law that regulated us since 70's. Before that, we didn't have any fair use or safe harbours, BUT the fair use that we have right now - even when it's better than nothing - still has their flaws. In fact, my thesis for University was based on the new fair use.
Well, for me, what's really interesting is that this thing happened not just in Europe or in the U.S., but it also happened in South America, especially my country, Chile with a commercial about mineral water. But is a usual practice here. In fact, I've seen commercials with similar songs of Lilly Allen and Avril Lavigne.
Re: Chilean Law
Yeah, but in this case, the "work" wasn't expropiated by the State.

I use that image too
It's funny but I use the same picture in a poem that I wrote in one of my blogs.
