10. What is “fair use”?
Fair Use is a part of the United States Copyright law.
It allows people to use and make copies of copyrighted works if they are using them for:
criticism,
comment,
news reporting,
teaching,
scholarship, or
research

11. What is not protected by copyright law?
Works that have not been written or recorded (your stories, if they are not written down, are not protected by copyright law)
Ideas, procedures, methods, discoveries
Works that contain no original authorship (for example: standard calendars, height and weight charts, tape measures and rulers, etc.)
Lists of data (such as the telephone book)
Items in the public domain (meaning works that are available for anyone to use. All works created before 1923 and most between are in the public domain)
Most U.S. government materials (some items created by contractors for the government might be copyrighted)
Facts

12. Before using copyrighted work, ask yourself:
Is the copying for educational use?
Is the original material mainly facts, not very original, and published?
Are you using small amounts, not whole sections?
Is the original material freely available? (Meaning, the author is not trying to make money on it)
If any answers are “no” – be careful!
The use of that work might not fall under “fair use.”
