OK, the example I gave wasn't good one. The point I was trying to make was that just because a specific usage in the US is permitted under the 'fair use' provisions, don't assume that the Berne Convention allows that same usage in other countries as well. In many cases, it doesn't. BTW, I wonder what the video industry's fixation with prisons and schools is in aid of? The standard warning which appears at the start of UK PAL releases says that you can't show them '...in oil rigs, prisons or schools.'
