"FAIR USE"

Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing.

Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.

Fair Use Definition

Fair use is a doctrine in the United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as for commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching or scholarship. It provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor balancing test. The term 'fair use' originated in the United States. A similar principle, fair dealing, exists in some other common law jurisdictions. Civil law jurisdictions have other limitations and exceptions to copyright.

The Four Factors of Fair Use

Courts consider four factors when determining whether a use qualifies as fair use:

  1. The purpose and character of your use - Whether the material has been transformed by adding new expression or meaning;
  2. The nature of the copyrighted work - Factual works receive less protection than creative works;
  3. The amount and substantiality of the portion taken - The less you take, the more likely it's fair use (unless it's the "heart" of the work);
  4. The effect of the use upon the potential market - Whether your use deprives the copyright owner of income or undermines potential markets.

One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords. This right is subject to certain limitations found in sections 107 through 118 of the copyright law (title 17. U.S. Code). One of the more important limitations is the doctrine of 'fair use". The doctrine of fair use has developed through a substantial number of court decisions over the years and has been codified in section 107 of the copyright law.

A work that imitates another work for comic effect or ridicule. Courts have held that a parody may claim fair use even if it takes a substantial amount of the original work if the taking was needed to conjure up the original. Parody claims are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering the four fair use factors.
