Description

In this webinar we’ll take a look at the fair use statute, including carefully reviewing the four factors found of fair use:

  • the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes 
  • the nature of the copyrighted work 
  • the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole 
  • the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. 

We’ll also discuss common myths and misconceptions about fair use! The webinar will include some scenario work and Q&A time.

Who Should Attend

Individuals who work in reference, instruction, outreach, and programming or anyone with an interest in the topic.
