Much of the text of the copyright law consists of limitations, defenses, and exceptions, which allow unlicensed use of copyright-protected works.

Section 107 allows use of excerpts "appropriate in kind and amount" "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research."

Section 108 allows certain reproduction by libraries and archives

Section 110 allows certain educational or governmental performances and displays

Section 117 allows copying a computer program onto a hard drive

Section 121 allows Braille transcription

The TEACH Act also created certain exemptions for educational uses.
