Fair use is one of the limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright holder as specified in Section 107 of the Copyright Law. Fair use is the provision within the law that allows use of a copyrighted work for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship and research. Fair use relates to the purpose for which the individual is requesting the material. Section 107 lists four factors in determining whether the use made of a work is a fair use.
