12. Educational Use Guidelinesare NOT the Law!

13. The documents created by these negotiated agreements give them “the appearance of positive law. These qualities are merely illusory, and consequently the guidelines have had a seriously detrimental effect. They interfere with an actual understanding of the law and erode confidence in the law as created by Congress and the courts” --Kenneth Crews, 2001Educational Use Guidelinesare NOT the Law!

19. An Example of Transformative Use The purpose of the original: To generate publicity for a concert.The purpose of the new work: To document and illustrate the concert events in historical context.

20. Transformative Use is Fair Use When a user of copyrighted materials adds value to, or repurposes materials for a use different from that for which it was originally intended, it will likely be considered transformative use; it will also likely be considered fair use. Fair use embraces the modifying of existing media content, placing it in new context. --Joyce Valenza, School Library Journal

Is Your Use of Copyrighted Materials a Fair Use?Did the unlicensed use “transform” the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original?Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?

23. Fair Use Is Empowering MYTH: FAIR USE IS TOO UNCLEAR AND COMPLICATED FOR ME; IT’S BETTER LEFT TO LAWYERS AND ADMINISTRATORS.TRUTH:The fair use provision of the Copyright Act is written broadly because it is designed to apply to a wide range of creative works and the people who use them. Fair use is a part of the law that belongs to everyone.
