FAIR USE GUIDELINES Purdue's OWL sitePurdue's OWL site: Section 107 [US Copyright law] specifically distinguishes between commercial and educational use. Therefore, teachers and students are more protected when using copyrighted works for classroom assignments, lessons, or projects. Purposes that are specifically mentioned in Section 107 include “criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research. ” Fair Use Guidelines

LEGAL PURCHASE When using a copyrighted work, get the original version legally. Buy the DVD, CD, or photo instead of pirating it off the internet. Use a legally purchased film clip or song rather than one downloaded off YouTube or Limewire. Save your receipt, if possible. Legal Purchase

PARTIAL USE Reproducing only a small part of a copyrighted work is more acceptable than using an entire work. Try to use no more than 10% or 30 seconds, whichever is less. We suggest editing sound clips to be within this partial use guideline, particularly for Alice worlds that might be posted to the internet in some way. Partial Use
