What is Fair Use?
And why it’s mentioned in Copyright Laws
What is Fair Use?Paraphrased from TechoPedia, Fair Use is the practice of using copyrighted
materials without getting permission with no legal action ensuing. This
applies with few things, and one of the biggest is Education. If a teacher uses
any copyrighted materials strictly to use in lesson plans or the classroom, it
is protected under the Fair Use Law.

What to Consider when claiming
Fair Use
Just claiming Fair Use when you have been cited for Copyright Infringement does not satisfy the requirements. When claiming Fair Use, take into consideration the following:
– What are you using it for, what’s the purpose.
– Educational purpose fulfills the requirements of Fair Use but does not give permission to steal work.
– How much of the work are you using?
– The less, the better
– The type of material copied
– Is it a whole lesson plan or a small activity
– The loss to the creator and market
