What are fair use rules?

Answer 1

Fair use is a legal exception to the charge of infringement. It allows the use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes of education, commentary, critique, parody, and news reporting.

The four primary factors you need to consider in order to determine "fair use" are...

1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. The nature of the copyrighted work;
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
