This document provides an overview of fair use for audio-visual archivists. It begins with an introduction explaining that fair use is important for archivists' work in collecting, curating, exhibiting and sharing archived material. It then discusses the basics of fair use, including that it allows for non-infringing use of copyrighted works under certain circumstances. The document outlines the four factors courts consider in determining fair use: purpose of the use, nature of the work, amount used, and effect on the market. It notes that codes of best practices can help archivists better assess risk and act in accordance with their missions. The presentation concludes by providing additional resources on fair use and inviting questions.

Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

NOT LIKE FAIR USE “GUIDELINES”!
What, then, is the copyright doctrine of fair use?
Here are five situations in which members of the visual arts community may have fair use needs. And following are some typical questions:
In practice, these four factors can be deeply confusing and anxiety-producing for people. They don’t know if they are guessing right about how to interpret those “four factors” in their particular case.
Indeed, the 2014 CAA survey found that a third of all repondents had avoided or abandoned work because of their copyright concerns. And we—and possibly even they—will never know what might have been created.
Yes, actually, the most common reason people gave for not employing fair use was their own decision, which they made on the basis of a risk assessment done on their own.
What, then, is the copyright doctrine of fair use?
To explain fair use, we start with understanding the purpose of copyright. Many people understand copyright as the right to control the use of a work after it’s made. And that’s certainly part of it.
But in fact copyright monopoly is only one part of a more general purpose: to promote the creation of culture. The designers of the U.S. constitution seriously considered not having copyright at all, because of their aversion to monopolies, which by design favor the few against the many. But they decided that in some cases, their central goal—encouraging a rich cultural environment for their brand-new country—might be served as well by providing a limited benefit to cultural creators, similar to the one they already had in England (and where, possibly, they might stay if the U.S. offered them nothing!). So today, copyright is part of our Constitution, where it is described as designed to promote “Science and the Useful Arts,” with “Science” being then understood as knowledge generally.
Copyright law has two major aspects, which should balance each other, and both of which are designed to provide incentives to makers. There is, of course, the well-known copyrighted monopoly, which continues to be limited today (although much less limited than in the days of the Founders). Then there are the provisions that release new makers from copyright monopoly. In the old days, and especially before 1976, when new legislation vastly expanded copyright monopoly (a process that is ongoing), the most common provisions to encourage new makers to use the created culture around them to make new work was simply the limitation on monopoly. The copyright monopoly when it began was short, it didn’t cover all kinds of work, you had to ask for it and then renew it, and it didn’t apply to the wide variety of follow-on works. All that has changed. So other provisions, most importantly the fair use provision, have risen in importance.
Fair use, which was first asserted in case law in 1841 and became codified in 1976, says that you can use copyrighted material without permission or payment, in some circumstances. Fair use never has to be approved by anyone, and it’s a right that you claim like you do any First Amendment right; you simply do it. If someone challenges you, you will assert your fair use right actively for the first time, and thus it’s known as a “defense,” like the right of self-defense is a defense. But it is just as much a right as any other; waiting to assert it only if you need to doesn’t remove its value as a right.
The law provides only the most abstract guide to how to interpret fair use; this was deliberate, to ensure that it would be flexible for new creators with new projects and new modes of expression to be able to use it as they needed to. The law says that users should consider four general questions, or “factors,” and also encourages people to think about anything else they mind regard as relevant.
But fair use has never been more useable than today. Key to its useability has been the work that judges have put into to interpreting it. One of them, Judge Pierre Leval, wrote a very important law review article in 1990, putting the notion of “transformation” at the center of fair use interpretation. He said that the big question judges should pay attention to is whether the use generates new culture or not—whether or not the existing copyrighted material is used differently than the market purpose. This has given judges new language to balance the different interests in their fair use analysis. Judges are acutely aware of the core function of copyright as a collection of incentives to promote the making of new culture. They have been highly favorable to fair users in court. They are aware, as the Supreme Court has asserted, that fair use is a critically important feature of copyright law, protecting it from becoming unconstitutional. That is because fair use allows new makers access to copyrighted work, in an environment in which otherwise copyright monopolies often would lock them out. Then existing copyright holders would be able to dictate the terms of new culture built on today’s culture, and they would be private censors. That would be unconstitutional, because the First Amendment says that the government cannot create laws that interfere with freedom of speech.
Today, when judges go through the four factors of fair use, they typically come down to asking two basic questions.
When they are deciding fair use cases, judges inevitably turn to the question of what actually happens in a particular creative community’s practice, to better understand what creative needs are being met by availing oneself of fair use.
If judges just love fair use these days, and fair use is a protection against copyright’s unconstitutionality, why aren’t we all using fair use?
It’s hard for most of us to make a risk assessment about fair use on our own. And risk can come in many forms. To evaluate risk, you want to know not only what the law says, but what your colleagues will think of you, and whether such behavior is regarded as appropriate by someone like your boss.
Mostly, people were thinking about risk in terms of getting in trouble with the law, an estate, an artist, or their boss. But there are actually two kinds of risks to think about: what happens if you get in trouble for doing something, and what happens to your work, and even your field, if you don’t do something. Too often people weren’t articulating that second part.
Professionals in other fields have learned make better judgments about fair use by understanding the consensus of their peers around employing it. They have written down what they decided, with the help of legal advisors, in codes of best practices in fair use.
Here are five situations in which members of the visual arts community may have fair use needs. And following are some typical questions:

Here are some ways in which other creative communities were able to get back to doing their work the way they thought was most effective, once they understood their fair use rights.
Dance archivists were able to showcase important dance history for students everywhere, in this website from Jacob’s Pillow.
Here are some basic differences between a code of best practices and the kinds of “guidelines” and “checklists” you can find all over the Internet. Codes don’t tell you what to do; they tell you how your peers think about the most common situations that your field faces, about fair use. They don’t have any of those arbitrary numbers or limits (400 words, seven changes, 30 seconds, and so on) that have grown up around fair use. Instead, they depend on the judgment of your colleagues about what kinds of things you should think about when you’re making a fair use decision, including when you might be going too far. These codes are never negotiated documents; large rights holders, such as estates, aggregators, and media companies, are not in the same profession as yours; you need the judgment of your peers, the colleagues who share the mission to make new culture in some specific way.
It’s so important to become one of the people who use fair use because fair use’s vitality actually depends on people using it.
There are plenty of resources to help you teach about fair use, distribute the code electronically, share some of the background legal stuff with gatekeepers who may want to know more specifics, and much more, on these sites.
