What Is Copyrighted?

“The 1976 revision of the Copyright Act ... changed the original nature and function of fair use. It treats fair use as a defense, rather than as an affirmative right of use.”

(Ghosh, et al, p. 174)


“Although the courts have ruled upon the fair use doctrine over and over, no real definition of the concept has ever emerged. [S]ince the doctrine is an equitable rule of reason, no definition is possible, and each case raising the question must be decided on its own facts.”

(HR 94-1476, 1976, p. 65)
