Fair Use Definition

Fair use is a legal doctrine that promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright-protected works in certain circumstances. Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use. It provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author’s, speaker’s, or presenter’s work under a four-factor balancing test.
