FAIR USE. WHAT IS IT?U.S. concept, created by judges and protected by law.

recognizes that certain types of use of other people's copyright protected works do not require the copyright holder's authorization.

primarily designed to allow the use of the copyright protected work for :–commentary, parody, news reporting, research and education

ASK YOURSELF: What is the purpose of your production? Is it for commercial or for nonprofit educational purposes? Fair use does not apply if

it’s for a commercial/for profit production.

How much of the copyrighted work did you use in the new work? Is the new work transformed and used in a new and different way? or is it the same as the copyrighted work?

DERIVATIVE WORKS (REMIXES*) IMAGES OR SOUND ARE TAKEN FROM A RECORDING AND EDITED INTO SOMETHING NEW Although the new video is your own creation,

the images and sound you've used still belong to someone else.

It doesn't matter if you

recorded it for free from television,

purchased a DVD,

purchased a video game,

or recorded it yourself at an event

—you may still need permission from the copyright holder(s) of the material you drew upon to make your new creation.
