Fair Use Doctrine
The fair use doctrine allows use of copyright work without the owner’s permission for the purposes of:
1. Criticism and comments (e.g., movie or book reviews)
2. News reporting, and
3. Teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use).
In determining whether the use of copyrighted work is fair, the courts will consider a number of factors, including the purpose of the use, the nature of the work, the amount of the work that was used (e.g., the entire book, a chapter, a few sentences), and the effect of the use on potential markets.
