Fair Use in Copyright and What It Means PDF Print E-mail

Have you ever had this type of experience before? Let's say you're interested in a subject, like a classic Mercedes sports coupe. You think about the Mercedes a lot, and suddenly you see it alot, too. It's cruising down the highway, parked in your neighbor's driveway, or for sale at the car dealership down the road from work.

So it is with the subject of copyright. On June 12th, we posted a little story about our customers who did and didn't understand the intricacies of copyright law.

Not that we're lawyers, so please don't use our blog posting as a defense in your upcoming copyright infringement case, but now we're seeing articles and references to the topic of copyright all over the place. It seems to be important for us to know about, and thougth you might be interested, too.

Here's an excellent video produced by the American University Center for Social media. While it focuses on the subject of Fair Use as it applies to video, the general topic of fair use is relevant to all creative materials. As we find more easy-to-understand information on copyright law, we'll post it here.

Note: Thank you to Loida Thamm from North 100 for the heads up regarding this video on Fair Use.
