Fair use is a doctrine in United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as use for scholarship or review.
Fair Use and Teachers
Fair use allows use of copyrighted materials for educational purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
Under the fair use doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute, it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports. There are no legal rules permitting the use of a specific number of words, a certain number of musical notes, or percentage of a work. Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on all the circumstances. Fair use is almost always attributed.
Copyright does not prohibit all copying or replication. In the United States, the fair use doctrine, codified as 17 U.S.C. Section 107, permits some copying and distribution without permission of the copyright holder. The statute does not clearly define fair use, but instead give four non-exclusive factors to consider in a fair use analysis.
You can ask for it. If you know who the copyright owner is, you may contact the owner directly. When it is impracticable to obtain permission, use of copyrighted material should be avoided unless the doctrine of “fair use” would clearly apply to the situation. The Copyright Office can neither determine if a certain use may be considered “fair” nor advise on possible copyright violations. If there is any doubt, it is advisable to consult DoDEA’s Office of General Counsel.
