As Defined by US Federal Law
Fair Use is a doctrine under United States Copyright Law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without the need to obtain permission from the rights holders. This doctrine is intended to balance the interests of copyright owners with the public’s interest in the broader dissemination of knowledge and information. The concept of Fair Use is outlined in Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, and it identifies several factors that must be considered to determine whether a specific use of copyrighted material falls within this doctrine.
According to Section 107, the following factors are considered to determine if a use is fair:
- The Purpose and Character of the Use: This includes considering whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes. The use is more likely to be considered fair if it is non-commercial, educational, transformative, or if it adds new expression or meaning to the original work.
- The Nature of the Copyrighted Work: This factor considers the type of work being used. For example, using a factual work like a news article may be more likely to be considered fair use than using a highly creative work like a novel or song.
- The Amount and Substantiality of the Portion Used: This involves looking at both the quantity and quality of the copyrighted material that is used. Using a small, less significant portion of a work is more likely to be considered fair use than using a large portion or the “heart” of the work.
- The Effect of the Use on the Potential Market for or Value of the Copyrighted Work: This considers whether the use would compete with the original work or could potentially harm its market or value. If the use could result in lost sales or diminish the work’s market, it is less likely to be considered fair use.
These factors are considered on a case-by-case basis, and no single factor will determine whether a use is fair. The doctrine of Fair Use is deliberately broad and flexible to accommodate the diverse needs of different users and to adapt to new situations and technologies.
Fair Use is crucial for various activities, including but not limited to education, research, news reporting, criticism, commentary, and parody, enabling creativity, innovation, and access to information within the bounds of copyright law.
