Fair Use

Fair Use
  • Fair Use gives the public the right to to use portions of copyrighted materials in some circumstances -- usually for comment, criticism or parody -- freely and without permission of the copyright holder
  • Fair use of an image does not mean that you don't have to cite the source of the image, you still need to cite the source!
  • Fair use law is somewhat vague and subjective, and cases are decided on an individual basis.
  • Educational fair use is not specifically outlined in Copyright Law, but guidelines have been developed that provide educational institutions with some direction. See Educational Fair Use Guidelines for Digital Images.
