How to fill out copyright and fair use

How to fill out copyright and fair use

1. Understand the concept of copyright and fair use: Copyright refers to the legal right of the creator of an original work to control its usage and distribution. Fair use is a legal doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder.
2. Determine if the work you want to use is copyrighted: Not all works are protected by copyright. Check if the work is in the public domain, has a Creative Commons license, or if the copyright has expired.
3. Evaluate if your use of the copyrighted material qualifies as fair use: Fair use is determined by four factors - the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used, and the effect of the use upon the potential market for the copyrighted work.
4. Seek permission if fair use doesn't apply: If your use of the copyrighted material does not meet the requirements of fair use, you need to obtain permission from the copyright holder.
5. Provide proper attribution: When using copyrighted material under fair use or with permission, always credit the original creator appropriately.
6. Consult legal advice if unsure: If you are uncertain about copyright and fair use, it is recommended to seek legal advice to ensure compliance with the law.
