The United Kingdom legislation contains fair dealing and permitted uses which are not really the same as fair use. Copyright law here covers all copying, even on your own computer and not distributed, except for limited exceptions stated in http://www.jenkins-ip.com/patlaw/cdpa1.htm#s28A http://www.jenkins-ip.com/patlaw/cdpa1.htm#s50A and "lawful use" broadly means permitted by the licence. 50A is quite misleading too, as I've read about at least one judge reasoning that no backups are necessary (as opposed to desirable), in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/fsfe-uk/2005-12/msg00006.html The 1988 Act covers use and non-distributed copies quite comprehensively since the EUCD was rammed into it.
