		Texaco asserts that the "transformative use" concept is valuable only to the extent that it focusses [focuses] attention upon whether a second work unfairly competes with the original.
		Texaco also suggests that its use should be considered transformative: photocopying the article separated it from a bulky journal, made it more amenable to markings, and provided a document that could be readily replaced if damaged in a laboratory, all of which "transformed" the original article into a form that better served Chickering's research needs.
		Texaco claims that the District Court's reasoning is faulty because, in determining that the value of the publishers' copyrights was affected, the Court assumed that the publishers were entitled to demand and receive licensing royalties and fees for photocopying.

	Stanford Copyright & Fair Use Summary of Texaco Decision (September 1992)
		The Texaco decision is of limited significance to non-profit educational libraries, even to the extent that they may rely on general fair use principals as authorization for certain activities.
		Texaco's commercial orientation not only decided the issue in the publishers' favor with respect to the fairness factor that addresses the purpose and character of the use, it colored the Court's analysis of the other factors.
		Whether or not Texaco will be able to take an appeal at this stage of the proceedings is not clear, because the fair use issue was addressed by special stipulation of the parties and the Court has not yet addressed and disposed of other issues in the case.

		Texaco asserts that the "transformative use" concept is valuable only to the extent that it focusses attention upon whether a second work unfairly competes with the original.

	Texaco's Ecological Terrorism of the Ecuadorian Amazon
		Texaco consolidated its position of power and influence over the terms of production by enforcing an oil embargo in 1975, pushing the Ecuadorian economy into a severe financial crisis and its first period of heavy borrowing.
		Texaco allowed the various produced and waste waters to collect in unlined pits barely scratched from the surface of the earth, forming what Judith Kimmerling, in her 1990 work Amazon Crude, has referred to as a "toxic soup" of brine, crude, PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons-a well-known carcinogen) and VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
		It is for this reason that many people refer to Texaco's activities as acts of "ecological terrorism," and the skull and crossbones are drawn next to the name Petroecuador on the main pipeline that connects the Oriente with the coast.

	Professional Fair Use after Texaco
		The interplay in the Texaco decision, however, has had a surprising effect: the court's determinations under the first and third factors have markedly decreased the potential significance of a nonprofit use in the analysis of the fourth factor.
		Thus, Texaco does not clarify the scope of professional fair use in the university environment, but it may alert us to recognize that certain activities in the nonprofit research community may, at some point in the future, be vulnerable to challenge.
		Texaco may be a call to professionals who use and professionals who provide access to research materials, our research and library community, to work together to find a balance between the traditional mode of access and newer on-line services and electronic or facsimile document delivery.
