Fair Use Interpretation and Guides:

The Fair Use section of Title 17 details the limitations of copyright law which permits people to use copyrighted works in a limited fashion. For a work to fall under the protection of the Fair Use section, it must be analyzed through the four factors listed in section 107 of Title 17, which includes the purpose of the work, the nature of the work, the amount of the copyrighted work used, and the effect that the use will have on the market of the original work. In order to help determine if a person's use of a copyrighted work is permitted under the Fair Use section, there are several resources that provide a user with a checklist of the four factors to help them determine if their use is permissible:


 * Columbia University provides a Fair Use Checklist.
 * The American Library Association also provides a detailed checklist.
