The doctrine of fair use in copyright law is a set of guidelines that allows for limited use of copyrighted material without obtaining permission from the copyright holder. This includes uses such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. The specific factors that are taken into account when determining whether a use is fair include the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used, and the effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
