FAIR USE, AND FOUL
September 24, 2007
Local intellectual property maven Brett Trout explains what "fair use" is, and isn't:
What is Fair Use?
In some situations it is permissible to use limited portions of a copyright work, including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, news reporting, scholarly reports. This is particularly true for current news stories & historical analysis (to promote accuracy). The quoted material, however, must not be unreasonably large and must not destroy the market for the original work (quoting the salacious portions of Monica Lewinsky’s memoirs).
So is this quotation from Brett's post at Iowabiz.com "fair use?" You'll have a better idea if you read the whole thing. I'll know for sure when I get the cease and desist letter, I suppose.
