Fair Use
What is Fair Use?
In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and "transformative" purpose, such as a comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner.
Transformative There are no hard and fast rules. Open to interpretation
Guidelines
The term "public domain" refers to creative materials that are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright, trademark, or patent laws. The public owns these works, not an individual author or artist. Anyone can use a public domain work without obtaining permission, but no one can ever own it.
You are free to copy and use individual images
copyright has expired
the copy right owner failed to follow rules
deliberately placed in public domain
Copyright fair use
Parody
Criticize
New reporting
Nature of the work
Amount you borrow
music-30 seconds or 10% which ever is less
video-10% or 3 minutes- which ever is less
Fair Use is really hard to define. It is difficult to figure out whether or not the materials are protected by fair use.
Reflection: This class made me wonder if I am following copyright and fair use in my own class. Do I obey fair use in my own classroom?
