It is determined on a case-by-case basis and is based on a consideration of the following four factors:</p> <ul> <li>The purpose and character of the use (including whether it is transformative, commercial, non-profit, or educational)</li> <li>The nature of the copyrighted work</li> <li>The amount and substantiality of the portion to be used</li> <li>The effect upon the potential market for the copyrighted work</li> </ul> <p>Because intention is a part of the consideration, only the user can make the initial assessment of whether their use is fair. Cornell University Library provides <a href="https://guides.library.cornell.edu/ld.php?content_id=63936868">a guide and checklist</a> to help you in your determination. We strongly recommend that you complete and retain this form for all Fair Use considerations you make.</p> <p>Fair use rules do not state a concrete maximum of usable material (not a number of words, or a length of time, or a percent of total). Fair use also does not mean that Cornell users can use/distribute any copyright material they want simply because Cornell is an educational non-profit. We are bound by copyright law too!</p> <p>There is a lot of subtlety in Fair Use interpretations, for more information see the Copyright Office’s <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html">Information on Fair Use</a>, and <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/fair-index.html">Case Index</a>.   </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div><div class="row s-lg-row"><div id="s-lg-col-1" class="col-md-6"><div class="s-lg-col-boxes"><div id="s-lg-box-wrapper-32423544" class="s-lg-box-wrapper-32423544"><div id="s-lg-box-27569657-container" class="s-lib-box-container"> <div id="s-lg-box-27569657" class="s-lib-box s-lib-box-std"> <h2 class="s-lib-box-title">Additional Resources</h2><div id="s-lg-box-collapse-27569657" > <div class="s-lib-box-content"> <div class=""><ul id="s-lg-link-list-66354237" class="s-lg-link-list s-lg-link-list-4"><li class=" pad-bottom-sm"><div id="s-lg-content-63936868" class=""><span><a href="https://guides.library.cornell.edu/ld.php?content_id=63936868" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '5',_st_content_id: '63936868',_st_inc_return: this});"><i class="s-lg-file-icon fa fa-file-pdf-o" style="font-size:1.5em; margin-right:5px;"></i>Fair Use Checklist (Updated 2021)</a> <i class="fa fa-lg fa-info-circle pad-left-sm" tabindex="0" role="button" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" data-content="A guide to performing and documenting a fair use assessment"></i><span class="sr-only">A guide to performing and documenting a fair use assessment</span> <script> jQuery(function () { jQuery('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover() }) </script>  </span></div></li></ul></div><div class=""><ul id="s-lg-link-list-72210550" class="s-lg-link-list s-lg-link-list-2"><li class=""><div id="s-lg-content-69693145" class=""><span><a href="https://www.authorsalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/AuthorsAllianceFairUseNonfictionAuthors.pdf" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '69693145',_st_inc_return: this});">Fair Use for Nonfiction Authors</a> <i class="fa fa-lg fa-info-circle pad-left-sm" tabindex="0" role="button" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" data-content="Authors Alliance guide to fair use."></i><span class="sr-only">Authors Alliance guide to fair use.</span> <script> jQuery(function () { jQuery('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover() }) </script>  </span></div></li><li class=""><div id="s-lg-content-64104309" class=""><span><a href="https://fairuse.stanford.edu/" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '64104309',_st_inc_return: this});">Stanford Copyright and Fair Use Center</a> <i class="fa fa-lg fa-info-circle pad-left-sm" tabindex="0" role="button" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" data-content="Robust copyright and fair use resources from Stanford University Library"></i><span class="sr-only">Robust copyright and fair use resources from Stanford University Library</span> <script> jQuery(function () { jQuery('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover() }) </script>  </span></div></li><li class=""><div id="s-lg-content-64104396" class=""><span><a href="https://cmsimpact.org/program/fair-use/" onclick="return springSpace.springTrack.trackLink({link: this,_st_type_id: '2',_st_content_id: '64104396',_st_inc_return: this});">CMSI Fair Use Library</a> <i class="fa fa-lg fa-info-circle pad-left-sm" tabindex="0" role="button" data-toggle="popover" data-trigger="focus" data-content="A collection of fair use codes of best practice for a variety of disciplines published by the Center for Media and Social Impact"></i><span class="sr-only">A collection of fair use codes of best practice for a variety of disciplines published by the Center for Media and Social Impact</span> <script> jQuery(function () { jQuery('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover() }) </script>  </span></div></li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="s-lg-col-2" class="col-md-6"><div class="s-lg-col-boxes"><div id="s-lg-box-wrapper-32489737" class="s-lg-box-wrapper-32489737"><div id="s-lg-box-27625487-container" class="s-lib-box-container"> <div id="s-lg-box-27625487" class="s-lib-box s-lib-box-std"> <h2 class="s-lib-box-title">Learning About Fair Use</h2><div id="s-lg-box-collapse-27625487" > <div class="s-lib-box-content"> <div id="s-lg-content-64070940" class="s-lg-widget "><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZhsTpDSqBXM" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> <div id="s-lg-content-64139300" class=" clearfix"> <p style="margin-left: 1cm; text-indent: -1cm;">Benson, Sara. “Fair Use Video - Youtube.” Fair use video.
