CHAPTER 1 - SUBJECT MATTER
AND SCOPE OF COPYRIGHT
- § 107. Limitations on exclusive rights:
Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the
fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction
in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by
that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news
reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom
use), scholarship, or research, is NOT an infringement
of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in
any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered
shall include -
- (1) the purpose and character of the use,
including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for
nonprofit educational purposes;
- (2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
- (3) the amount and substantiality of the
portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;
and
- (4) the effect of the use upon the potential
market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a
work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use
if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
