Rule 1: Are You Creating\nSomething Unique or Just Copying?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe\ncharacter & purpose of your intended use of the material involved is the\nvital factor in finding out whether a use is fair or not under U.S. Copyright\nlaw. The query to ask here is whether you are only copying others’ work or\nusing it to help make something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rule 2: Are You Participating with\nthe Source You are Imitating?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWithout\napproval, you ordinarily cannot use another individual\u2019s protected expression\nin a way that impairs or even capable impairs the market for their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rule 3: Giving the Author\nCredit Doesn\u2019t Always Let You Off the Hook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSome\npeople wrongly believe that they can use any material as long as they properly\ngive the author credit. Giving credit and fair use of Copyright are totally\nseparate ideas. Either you have the right to use another material of the author\nunder the fair use rule, or you don’t have the right to use it. The fact that\nyou assign the material to the other author doesn’t change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rule 4: The More You Take, the Slighter Fair Your Use is Likely to Be<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe more material you lift from the actual, the less likely it\u2019s that your use will be considered fair use. As a broad standard, never cite more than a few successive paragraphs from an article or a book, take more than one chart or diagram, include a demonstration or other artwork in a newsletter or book with the permission of the artist or quote more than one or two-line from a poem.\u00a0Contrary to how many people believe, there is no word limit of fair use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authors\nwill have more scope to preserve the free flow of information when using\nmaterial from factual work (technical, scholarly, or scientific works) than\nworks of fancy like poems, novels, and plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rule 5: Material Quality Used\nis as vital as the Quantity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe\nmore vital the material is to the original work that is the value, the less\nlikely your use of it will be considered equitable. Fair dealing is not a\nlicense to infringe the right of the Copyright owner. Content’s Blatant copying\ncannot have excuse under the grab of fair dealing. Moreover, exploiting\nsomeone’s work while giving them credit also constitutes a violation unless a\nlicense has been earlier obtained. Even where the user copies a significant\npart of the work, it will not consider as legitimate and fair. Since Copyright\nprotection needs reasonable labour & skill to reach the threshold of\nquality & originality for protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only\nextracts from work allowed under fair use. Moreover, not the reproduction of a\ncomplete or a significant part of the work. So as to not grab the original creator\u2019s\nexpression of their idea. If, in legal construction, there is no notion of fair\nuse, then any use by an illegal person, however minuscule, is a violation of\nthe author’s right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
