What is Copyright?The owner’s legal right to reproduce, display, transmit, perform and modify work they have created.

A work is automatically copyrighted at the moment of creation as long as it is in a fixed tangible form.

Copyright reflects the interests of the creators of a work, the publishers, and the users.

Copyright’s Purpose

To promote the spread of knowledge and innovation.

-U.S. Constitution

The Founding Fathers believed that encouraging the development of new ideas and information serves society as a whole.

Fair Use

Section 107: The fair use Doctrine of the copyright law of 1976

Fair use gives people the right to use copyrighted material when the cost to the copyright holder is less than the social benefit of the use of the copyrighted work.

- Peter Jaszi

Four Factors

Purpose of Use

Nature of the Work

Amount of the Portion Used

The economic impact on the market value of the copyrighted work
