Fair Use

Some rights reserved by Óðinn

Fair Use is the idea we can borrow someone else's copyrighted work for special circumstances like: education, making a newscast, critiquing, or making a parody. Fair Use is a loophole in the copyright law people can claim to justify copyright infringement. However, Fair Use is not a right and is ultimately left to a judge to determine whether the claimed "Fair Use" is justifiable. 

There are four criteria to be examined before you can claim the copyright infringement to be a Fair Use.
