I shared The Vandals' story with BestNetTech and some other ip law and tech contacts aft learning of Elsevier's ugly lawsuit [ my kids are friends w josh's kids and your band is the shit :) ... Plus me a lawyer 2 and I've a strong fair use interest ].
I originally contacted some folks up at Stanford Center for Internet and Society Fair Use division. They suggested they could possibly be interested in your f-'d up situation except for the fact that the matter seemed to them to be fully stuck in post settlement contract bullshit arena rather than a righteous fair use defense (which The Vandals have obviously always held against Elsevier).
Perhaps you should give the Stanford Center for Internet and Society's Fair Use Project a call yourself -- Here' s the Fair Use contact info ... Stanford Fair Use division. Anthony Falzone @ anthony.falzone@stanford.edu.
Get the case removed to Cali Federal District court soon and fight them
Cheers
