We need to rethink a few things...
•“We’re changing what it would mean to be a creator just at the time that technology is enabling anybody to be a creator. So, just when it matters most, the law steps in and destroys the opportunity...”
•— Prof. Lawrence Lessig

Is this Use of Copyrighted Materials a Fair Use?
•Did the unlicensed use “transform” the material taken from
the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than
that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the
same intent and value as the original?
•Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount,
considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the
use?
Bill Graham Archives vs. Dorling Kindersley, Ltd. (2006)
TRANSFORMATIVENESS
The purpose of the original: to generate publicity for a concert
The purpose of the new work: to document and illustrate the concert events in historical context
Fair Use Reasoning tells me...
•Claim Fair Use
•Ask permission
•Buy a License
•Use another Copyright Friendly source
