| Fair Use is a privilege. It allows users to
copyright for such
purposes as criticism, comment, news reporting, research, teaching and
scholarship without permission of the owner. However, the law is
vague on this issue and Fair Use is determined on a case by case
basis.
The law offers four factors to consider: (1) the purpose of the use,
including
a non-profit educational purpose; (2) the nature of the copyrighted
work;
(3) Êthe the amount of copying; and (4) the effect of the copying
on the potential market for, or value of, the original work. But,
when in doubt, get copy right permission.
