1.the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
3.the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4.the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
It was for personal use, not much was taken and there was no market effect so it very well could be fair use.
- ergo98 16y agoIt was not for nonprofit educational purposes. It isn't even reasonable to say it was for personal use given that Jeff's last blog entry was packed full of affiliate links. His blog is a commercial enterprise.
- oasisbob 16y agoCommercial use does not invalidate a defense of fair use, it's only one part of a multi-part test. Don't equate fair use with classroom use. There are enough uptight librarians who do that already.
- AgentConundrum 16y agoIs it really for personal use when it's being broadcast over the internet? The feedburner stat on the side of his blog says he has 111k "readers" so it seems pretty impersonal.
