In Sweden we have the super restricted "right to quote"[1]. Fair use seems like a dream compared to this.
FWIW I've studied copyright informally in UK, USA, and to a lesser extent other countries.
In UK our "Fair Dealing" is highly restrictive compared to USA's Fair Use.
Our (UK) archiving rights extend only to a couple of institutions and then only to people attending the library in person. We don't have rights to make backups; we don't have rights to format shift (except to help the disabled).
Yes, copyright specifics apply but wrt archiving USA is far from the most restrictive regime.
