Fair use?

• MichaelApproved 15y ago
  I believe you still have to credit the original copyright holder when claiming Fair Use.

    No. But you cannot claim authorship. That violates 17 USC 106A rights of attribution and integrity. Woah ... I've just re-read 106A for the first time in a few years. There've been a few additions to that section, including a mess of integrity, modification, and destruction claims. http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/17/1/106A http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/17/1/106A Notafan.

    No, there is no such requirement. Fair Use is judged on a four prong test, none of which involve crediting the author: the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; the nature of the copyrighted work; the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Fair_use_under_United_States_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Fair_use_under_United_...
