Fair Use Guidelines for Using Copyrighted
Material
There are situations where the use of copyrighted
materials is fair and appropriate. Here is a
guideline.
The Copyright Act of 1976 contains the following
statement in 17 U.S.C. Section 107:
*107: Limitations on exclusive
right: Fair use. Notwithstanding the provisions
of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a
copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction
in copies or phonorecords or by any other means
specified by that section, for purposes such
as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching
(including multiple copies for classroom use),
scholarship, or research, is NOT an infringement
of copyright.
The
Copyright Management Center of Indiana University-Purdue
University at Indianapolis website is a good
resource regarding how state institutions establish
"fair use" guidelines, and about how state
institutions may be immune from
copyright liability. The information here is based
on a recent court decision in Texas. In addition,
this website provides a number of useful links to
further information.
