Fair Use Copyright
“Fair use” is the right to
use
portions of copyrighted
materials without
permission for purposes
of education,
commentary, or parody.
Fair use rules for
educational uses are very
specific and, if complied
with, can generally
prevent lawsuits
The four factors judges
consider are:
 The purpose and
character of your use.
 The nature of the
copyrighted work.
 The amount and
substantiality of the
portion taken.
Copyright- he exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an
assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary,
artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the

introduction of the printing press to England in the late
fifteenth century, While the statute did provide for an author's
copyright, the benefit was minimal because in order to be paid
for a work an author had to assign it to a bookseller or
publisher.
As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978,
copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an
additional 70 years.
