Copyright and "Fair Use" 

Copyright law provides that reproduction "for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research" is not an infringement of copyright, a.k.a. "Fair Use". The law lists the following factors, which faculty & courts must consider to determine whether a particular use of a copyrighted work is a permitted "Fair Use," or is instead an infringement of the copyright:

1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes: the noncommercial educational use is more likely to be a fair use;

2. The nature of the copyrighted work: the more factual and less creative the work, the more likely it will be fair use;

3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole: the more taken the less likely to be fair use; and

4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work: in other words, is the use taking away from the copyright owner money that the she might have been making from the work.
