Fair Use and the Fair Use Act

What other uses are covered under the Fair Use Act? News reporting, criticism, research and teaching.
The Four Factors in Fair Use
1. The purpose and character- is it copy or am i doing something different with it?
2. The nature of the original work- Was it creative or informational?
3. Amount used- how much can u use?
4. Effect- Did it harm the market for the original work?Event Information
Fair Use and Copyright Block Party
It is for teaching kids about copyright and about fair use. There will be games about copyright and fair use outside and food and drinks will be provided also outside at the concession stands. It is free for anyone to come and learn but if you want food you will have to pay for it. All money will benefit the Rescue Hook & Ladder fire Company.
