Fair Use
Fair Use is a legal doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted material without obtaining permission from the rights holders. It applies to activities such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. The extent of fair use is influenced by factors like the purpose of use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount used, and the effect on the market for the original work. Fair use promotes freedom of expression and innovation by allowing for certain lawful uses of copyrighted materials.
