§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
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 —
- the purpose and character of
the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or
is for nonprofit educational purposes;
- the nature of the copyrighted
work;
- the amount and substantiality
of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a
whole; and
- the effect of the use upon the
potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is
unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such
finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. |
