Being able to perform the work publicly
Being able to display the copyrighted work publicly
Being able to distribute copies of the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending
In the case of sound recordings, being able to perform the work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission
The penalty for copyright infringement is no more than $2500.

3. Fair-Use
Fair use is a way to limit copyright owners’ control. Fair use law allows people to make reproductions of work for personal use, education, commentary, criticism, parody, or other socially beneficial uses.
Who heavily supports fair use?
Scientists
Librarians
News agencies
Academics
To determine whether or not a use is fair use, the case must be taken to Federal Court. The judge then makes a decision based on four factors:
The purpose and character of your use
The nature of the copyrighted work
The amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and
The effect of the use upon the potential market.
