What is Fair Use?
The “use” by someone other than the copyright owner,
without the copyright owner’s permission,
of a copyrighted work.
“Use” includes making a copy, paraphrasing, quoting, etc.
![Page 27: Librarians & Copyright Law The Basics for Print and Electronic Materials](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d4b5503460f94a28d83/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
No Need for ‘Fair Use’ ifyou obtain permission to “use” a
copyrighted work.
Caveats:
-Obtain permission in writing.
-Be sure the person giving permission
has the authority to do so.

Fair Use Factors Stated in the Law and Used by Courts

Purpose & Character of Use
Non-profit educational?
Commercial?
Mere copying?
Transformative?
![Page 31: Librarians & Copyright Law The Basics for Print and Electronic Materials](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d4b5503460f94a28d83/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Nature of Copyrighted Work
Fiction?
Non-fiction?
Published?
Unpublished?
![Page 32: Librarians & Copyright Law The Basics for Print and Electronic Materials](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d4b5503460f94a28d83/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Amount & Substantiality
How much was taken?
What was taken?If what was taken was the
“heart” of the work, a very small amount could be too much.
But, All of the work is NOT TOO MUCH sometimes!
![Page 33: Librarians & Copyright Law The Basics for Print and Electronic Materials](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d4b5503460f94a28d83/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Effect of Use on Value or Market
Does the taking of the material:
Enhance the market? or
Diminish the market?
Enhance the value? or Diminish the value? (The courts consider this the most
important factor.)

Fair Use is considered the Murkiest Part of the Law
Congress recognized this at the time it passed the law
Congress gathered together concerned parties at time law was passed
These parties were asked to develop Fair Use Guidelines
These Guidelines have been a “safe harbor” since 1978
[These Guidelines are part of the House & Senate Reports]
![Page 35: Librarians & Copyright Law The Basics for Print and Electronic Materials](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649d4b5503460f94a28d83/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Fair Use Guidelines
Congress realized fair use guidelines were needed
They called together interested parties
Result: Fair Use Guidelines for
--copying by teachers for own use
--classroom copying
--classroom use of videos

College Professors & the Guidelines
No profs were included in the group that developed the Guidelines
NYU decided to set their own guidelines
Publishers threatened to sue
NYU backed off and adopted the Guidelines
Duke did same a couple of years later.

Objections to Guidelines Today, some groups that supported the
Guidelines, like the American Library Association, are attacking them as too restrictive.
Their solution is to offer the four factors used by the courts as guidelines.
The four factors can be tricky to apply.

Last but not Least!Section 504©(3) states, in part:The court shall remit statutory damages in
any case where an infringer believed and had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her use of the copyrighted work was a fair use under section 107, if the infringer was:
an employee or agent of a nonprofit educational institution, library, or archives acting within the scope of his or her employment… .
Moral: Know the Fair Use Doctrine!
