It might come under fair use:
"Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair.
The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of 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
The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work"
- jasonwocky 12y agoIt might come under fair use, but can this site afford to make that case? It does seem like an awful lot of one show to be using. They'd probably be better off if they pulled this mix of concepts from multiple sources. There's really no educational reason this site needs to be Seinfeld only. It seems like they're trading off the original content perhaps a little more than is fair.
- glesica 12y agoWe had planned for a mixed-content site, but never got around to it. My collaborators have used content from a number of shows in the classroom.
- pbhjpbhj 12y agoI think it's worth highlighting that educational non-profit use - as any textbook production company will surely tell you - is not sufficient in itself to make something fair use. Educational use and/or non-profit use is part of the consideration.
