Cleanup?
I'm removing the request for cleanup, as it was added by an IP rather than a logged in user, and there's been nothing on the talk page regarding what needs to be cleaned up.

If you disagree, please reply. Kharhaz

Second Meaning
I listed a second meaning of the term, which is actually the meaning I have more often heard used. One source is artist Nina Paley's interview with WNET television in New York, at http://www.thirteen.org/sites/reel13/blog/nina-sings-the-copyright-song/445/ (she uses the phrase that way in the full interview, see the second, longer video on that page). Is that a useful thing to cite? --Karl Fogel 03:33, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Notable
I was reading the linked NYT article from 2004, which references Permission Culture. This seems notable to me, and the page is valuable.

Lawyer Peter Friedman writes on his blog at http://blogs.geniocity.com/friedman/tag/permission-culture/

It’s almost impossible to find a publisher these days that would sign off on even that snippet of eight words, claiming that they don’t want the liability of a lawsuit. I’ve had this discussion a few times with authors and publishers, and they all say the same thing: due to the potential liability of a lawsuit, even if it clearly does appear to be fair use, it’s just not worth using the quote.

This and other examples show that the idea of "you SHOULD seek permission first" rather than "fair use is the norm and always allowed" are cultural norms, and important ideas deserving of having their names available in Wikipedia.
