Fair use requires reasoning and critical thinking. In determining whether a particular use of copyrighted material is a fair use, you must consider the rights of owners as well as your own needs and purposes as a user. Review the principles and limitations identified on pages 10 -14 of the Code. Depending on the particulars of the context and situation, it will be necessary to ask permission, pay a license fee, or claim fair use.

It takes practice to gain confidence in applying the fair use reasoning process. There is no one “right” answer in making a fair use determination, which is why the courts have established a “reasonableness standard” which limits the liability of librarians or teachers who make a good-faith judgment that might be judged to be a violation of copyright.
