Copyright Almost all forms of original expression that are fixed in a tangible medium are subject to copyright protection, even if no formal copyright notice is attached. Written text (including email messages and news posts), recorded sound, digital images, and computer software are some examples of works that can be copyrighted. Copyright holders have many rights, including the right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, display, and perform their work. Reproducing, displaying or distributing copyrighted material without written permission infringes on the copyright holder's rights. However, "fair use" applies in some cases within educational settings. If a small amount of the work is used in a non-commercial situation and does not economically impact the copyright holder it may be considered fair use. The following text from the US Copyright Law outlines the four factors used in determining fair use. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include — (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. The text above is taken from §107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use, Copyright Law of the US. Stanford University copyright website has an excellent description of the issues related to fair use.
