Fair Use

Under certain circumstances, the fair use of copyrighted material is permitted without requiring authorization. Fair use applies to purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.

Factors considered when determining fair use include:

• The purpose and character of the use, including whether it is for commercial or nonprofit educational purposes.

• The nature of the copyrighted material.

• The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.

• The effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Fair use is outlined under 17 U.S. Code § 107. Please note that even if a work is unpublished, fair use may still apply when all factors are considered.
