When can someone else use my stuff?

"When it's Fair"

Well When is it Fair?

That's an excellent Question

FAIR USE SEC. 107: Use of Copyright

  • Why are you using someone's work?
  • Fact/Fiction
  • How much did you take & what did you use?
  • The effect on the value of the work

PROBLEMS

  • Are these guidelines holistic?
  • Who gets to decide what is and is not "fair use?"
  • Lack of established precedent.
