Fair Use

  • Fair Use affords 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 means that you still need to cite the source!  
  • Fair use law is somewhat vague and subjective, and cases are decided in a court of law 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. ​​​​​​​https://www.lib.uchicago.edu/copyrightinfo/fairuse.html
