week 3: Fair Use Video Answers to questions


I LOVE this video! I can see the students actually understanding copyright and fair use more if they saw this!!


Thanks, Prof. Bustillos for sharing it with us!


Facts About Fair Use:

1. There are limits to copyright

2. A small bit can be used for: a. teaching, b. news reporting, c. parody, d. critical comment

3. Three conditions to consider toward whether something is Fair Use:

a. nature of use, b. amount borrowed c. doesn't change original work's value i.e. commercial impact

4. Fair-Use is not a right; it is a legal defensible position.

This information makes it easier to understand and not misuse or abuse copyright. I am so thankful to have this information and the pdf that I downloaded concerning Fair Use.
