[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6415498, member: 177"] From the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107: In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: [LIST] [*]the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; [*]the nature of the copyrighted work; [*]the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and [*]the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. [/LIST] The listing is not exclusive - a court may consider other factors, but must consider at least the above. Note that "not for profit" is not the same as "nonprofit [I]educational[/I]" purposes. Just because you don't plan to make money, doesn't make it okay. If you're not using the quoted work for parody, criticism, or education, you're on shaky ground. [/QUOTE]
