 "Fair use is a means to allow people to comment on a pre-existing work, not a means to
allow someone to take a pre-existing work and re-create it into their own work."
Barry Slotnick
Linda Bourgeois
 The essence of the fair use doctrine is that a person is not using the work in such a
manner that is, or has the potential of, diverting income from the creator."


 Fair Dealing is the right, within limits, to reproduce a substantial amount of a copyrighted
work without permission from, or payment to, the copyright owner. Its purpose is to
facilitate creativity and free expression by ensuring reasonable access to existing
knowledge while at the same time protecting the interests of copyright owners.
-The Canadian Association of University Teachers. http://www.caut.ca/uploads/IPAdvisory3-en.pdf

The rigid confines of the Copyright Act’s fair dealing provisions continue to reflect a
vision of fair dealing as a marginal exception that must be strictly construed and rarely
enjoyed.

 Fair use, a limitation and exception to the exclusive right granted by copyright law to the
author of a creative work, is a doctrine in United States copyright law that allows limited
use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders.
Examples of fair use include commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching,
library archiving and scholarship. It provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or
incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor
balancing test. The term fair use originated in the United States. A similar principle, fair
dealing, exists in some other common law jurisdictions. Civil law jurisdictions have other
limitations and exceptions to copyright.

 “These three cases suggest that the transformative nature of the repurposing for
educational use can be further enhanced if the work is recontextualized. Thatis, the more
integrated a work is with other material, the stronger the claim of fair use.”
Jonathan Band, Association of
Research Libraries, December 2007

Bob Sweet
 "Fair Use is the notion that you may use a limited amount of copyrighted material in a
non-commercial venue (ie: an academic paper or review). The right to use copyrighted
material is not granted when the person using it is, say, publishing a book. For instance,
you may not quote Oprah without getting permission from Harpo Enterprises. She owns
her words. You can't re-publish the lyrics to a Jimmy Buffet song--in whole or in part-without permission from his music publishing company. . . .There is no Fair Use for
publishers."

 "Fair use is not a grudgingly tolerated exception to the copyright owner's rights of private
property, but a fundamental policy of the copyright law. The stimulation of creative
thought and authorship for the benefit of society depends assuredly on the protection of
the author's monopoly. But it depends equally on the recognition that the monopoly must
have limits. Those limits include the public dedication of facts (notwithstanding the
author's efforts in uncovering them); the public dedication of ideas (notwithstanding the
author's creation); and the public dedication of the right to make fair use of material
covered by copyright." Pierre N. Leval, "Toward a Fair Use Standard," Harvard Law
Review 103.5(March 1990)
Wendy Lyon
 "Fair use is the legal doctrine under which unathorized uses can be made of copyrighted
expression without constituting infringement
Bartow, "Response: Bloodsucking
Copyrights," 70 Maryland Law Rev. 62,76 (2010).

"Fair use is always going to be a gray area, and it should be. We need to allow for things
we can't see yet." Robin Gross, founder of IP Justice. Great-Quotes.com and
BrainyQuote.com
Jaime Scibelli
 "A commercial motive doesn't always disqualify someone from claiming a fair use. A use
that benefits the public can qualify as a fair use, even if it makes money for the user. For
example, in its advertising a vacuum cleaner manufacturer was permitted to quote from a
Consumer Reports article comparing vacuum cleaners. Why? The ad significantly
increased the number of people exposed to the Consumers Reports' evaluations and
thereby disseminated helpful consumer information. The same rationale probably applies
to the widespread practice of quoting from favorable reviews in advertisements for
books, films, and plays."

"Take from someone else only what you wouldn't mind someone taking from you."

someone else without paying royalties"

 "[L]awyers and judges decide whether an unlicensed use of copyrighted material is “fair”
according to a “rule of reason.” This means taking all the facts and circumstances into
account to decide if an unlicensed use of copyright material generates social or cultural
benefits that are greater than the costs it imposes on the copyright owner"

 "As more of our libraries transition to electronic resources, the main impact seems to be
in protecting our patrons' ability to effectively, completely, and legally use the resources,
without incurring copyright breach of contract liability. It coule prove to be a delicate
dance."

 "I think that if songwriter writes a song, they should have the right to continue to make
money when it gets played on the radio, say, or used in an advertisement. But when it
comes to transformative sampling, we need to acknowledge that musicians have always
copied each other, and have always transformed previously existing compositions and
recordings. There needs to be a balance."

 "Your fair use of this book is restricted. You may only read this book once."

 "[Fair Use] is an imperfect attempt to reconcile the competing ideals of free speech with
the property rights of individual creators. Fair use recognizes that the reason for our
nation's copyright laws is not so much for individual creators, but, rather to promote the
progress of art and science." From Fair Use in a Nutshell, Lloyd J. Jassin
