Fair
Use Law 17 U.S.C. 107 (1988 & Supp. IV 1993). Section 107 provides
in part: Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair
use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies
or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes
such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple
copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement
of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular
case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:
(1)
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of
a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2)
the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3)
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted
work as a whole; and
(4)
the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted
work.
