Copyright law has a “fair use” doctrine intended to permit copying in cases where the copying is in the public interest. 17U.S.C. § 107; see. e.g., American Geophysical Union v. Texaco. Inc., 37 F.3d 881, 890 (2d Cir. 1994); Consumers Union v. General Signal Corp., 724 F.2d 1044, 1049 (2d Cir. 1983). In addition, copyright law allows a court to refuse to issue an injunction in cases where there is a strong public interest in having access to the copyrighted work. 17 U.S.C. § 502; Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music. Inc., 510 U.S. 569, 578 n.10 (1994).Basic principles of statutory construction, requiring the application of the specific over the general, further support the application of fair use here. See MacEvoy Co. v. United States, 322 U.S. 102, 107 (1944) (“Specific terms prevail over the general in the same or another statute which otherwise might be controlling.”). Applying this standard to a copyright infringement action, the D.C. Circuit reviewed the denial of a preliminary injunction in a case in which the copying may have been permitted
