Better Safe than Sorry! - Part Two - Fair Use

The Copyright Act gives copyright holders the exclusive right to reproduce works for a limited time period. Fair use is a limitation on this right. Fair use allows people other than the copyright owner to copy part or, in some circumstances, all of a copyrighted work, even where the copyright holder has not given permission or objects. *This information is not legal advice. Always consult the guidelines within your country before proceeding.

Consider Four "Fair Use" Factors when deciding your next step:

1.      The purpose and character of the use

2.      The nature of the copyrighted work

3.      The amount of the portion used

4.      The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

A resource:

Have any advice for fellow educators concerning "Fair Use" standards?
