Learning how to exercise Fair Use Reasoning through Critical Thinking

** Fair Use **
Fair use is not an infringement of copyright. Section 107, The Fair Use Doctrine of the Copyright Act of 1976 sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair: 1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes 2. The nature of the copyrighted work 3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole 4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work This includes reproduction in copies for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, and research.

 * **[|FlickrCC]** || A site that searches //Creative Commons// images from //Flickr//. It randomly chooses a different word to display images each time you visit and displays a large selection in one view. ||
 * **Flickr Storm** || Allows you to create a tray of images to use in projects. ||
 * **[|Library of Congress on Flickr]** || Flickr is the world's largest user created database of photos. Many libraries and museums now host photos for use on //Flickr//. Please check copyright information and consider fair use guidelines when choosing images from //Flickr//. ||
 * **StockXChange** || Browse through the categories of our huge gallery containing over 350.000 quality stock photos by more than 30.000 photographers. Recently acquired by Getty Images this has become the world's best free stock site. ||
