Such assertions are demonstrably wrong. Without fair use, you couldn't quote even the tiniest portion of a copyrighted work, or even read aloud (what? you are performing the work without the explicit permission of the copyright holder!) and I know of no country where people fear prosecution for quoting one line of a book. That shows that everyone has some concept of fair use, even if they don't call it that.

They do not exist in the EU, which is a larger market than the US. Instead the US has quotation rights, which allow you to quote from a document. It is a lot more restrictive than fair use.The Grumpy Editor's guide to free documentation licenses
