Fair Use Myths
Return to Room
MYTH: FAIR USE IS TOO UNCLEAR AND COMPLICATED FOR ME.
TRUTH: The fair use provision of the Copyright Act is written broadly—not narrowly—because it is designed to apply to a wide range of creative works and the people who use them.
MYTH: IF I’M NOT MAKING ANY MONEY OFF IT, IT’S FAIR USE.
TRUTH: "Noncommercial use" can be a plus in fair use analysis, but its scope is hard to define. Some public uses may be unfair, even if no money is exchanged.
MYTH: FAIR USE COULD GET ME SUED.
TRUTH: That’s very, very unlikely. We don’t know of any lawsuit actually brought by an American media company against an educator over the use of media in the educational process. The copyright owner typically will send a "cease and desist" letter.

This was true until the revision of the 1989 copyright law, which states that it is not necessary to indicate a copyright symbol and/or statement on "original works" in order for it to be protected by copyright law.
