Transformative Use is Fair Use
“When a user of copyrighted materials adds value to, or repurposes materials for a use different from that for which it was originally intended, it will likely be considered transformative use; it will also likely be considered fair use. Fair use embraces the modifying of existing media content, placing it in new context.”
--Joyce Valenza, School Library Journal

* Is Your Use of Copyrighted Materials a Fair Use?
1. Did the unlicensed use “transform” the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original?
2. Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?
MYTH: FAIR USE IS TOO UNCLEAR AND COMPLICATED FOR ME; IT’S BETTER LEFT TO LAWYERS AND ADMINISTRATORS.
*Fair Use Is Empowering
TRUTH: The fair use provision of the Copyright Act is written broadly because it is designed to apply to a wide range of creative works and the people who use them. Fair use is a part of the law that belongs to everyone.
Educators can:
1. make copies of newspaper articles, TV shows, and other copyrighted works and use them and keep them for educational use
2. create curriculum materials and scholarship with copyrighted materials embedded
3. share, sell and distribute curriculum materials with copyrighted materials embedded
Learners can:
4. use copyrighted works in creating new material
5. distribute their works digitally if they meet the transformativeness standard
