Fair Use is the ability to use a work without permission and even against the wishes of the copyright owner. To qualify as fair use the use must fall within one of the exceptions to copyright protection. According to the Copyright Office, the following are the qualifiers:
- The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
- The nature of the copyrighted work
- The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
- The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work
I'll give a couple of examples.
Rule 1: Why you're using it is important. For example, there is a You Tube video where a guy shows filming mistakes in The Matrix. He uses scenes from the film in order to show where they made mistakes (Trinity says "Dodge This!" and shoots an Agent in the temple. But he falls down on his back.) These clips from the movie are clearly fair use.
Rule 3: Amount used. You get more leeway copying 30 seconds from a movie than you get copying 30 seconds from a song.
