Ask a Lawyer: What’s Fair in Fair Use?

"Fair Use" means that even though something is copyrighted (for example, a book, picture, speech, computer program, or architectural design), you can still legally use it for things like commentary, news reporting, and education. Whether you’re engaging in "fair use" or copyright infringement depends on a combination of factors:

How you use the copyrighted material, including whether your use is commercial, nonprofit, or educational: for example, if you want to use an excerpt from Catcher in the Rye to discuss literary theory with your graduate seminar or book club, you’re golden. But, if you want to write a prequel to Catcher about Holden Caulfield for your own profit, you’re busted. Finally, if your use of the copyrighted material is transformative creating a parody (remember Jib Jab’s This Land is Your Land"?) is the classic example then you’ve added sweat equity to the material and not stolen somebody else’s flash of genius. The nature of the copyrighted work: The more fact-based a work is, the more you can fair-use it. The law doesn’t want people to be ignorant dummies, and so it doesn’t like facts being kept from them by a copyright. How much of the copyrighted work you use: like cologne and f-bombs, the less you use the better. Whether your use hurts the monetary value of the copyrighted work. One of the goals of copyright law is to give creative people a financial incentive to make cool stuff. If your use takes away that incentive, for example, by downloading free music without permission, then you’re use isn’t fair.
