2. What is Fair Use?

Fair use is a legal doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders. It is a crucial exception to the exclusive rights granted by copyright law to the author of a creative work.

According to U.S. Copyright law, the following factors are considered in determining whether the use of a work is "fair use":

  1. Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
  2. Nature of the copyrighted work
  3. Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
  4. Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work

  • Adding commentary and critical analysis
  • Providing historical context and educational information
  • Curating content for educational purposes
  • Organizing content to facilitate research and scholarship
  • Presenting content in a way that serves the public interest

4. Copyright Respect
