>§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use

>Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a
>copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or
phonorecords
>or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as
criticism,
>comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom
use),
>scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In
determining
>whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the
factors
>to be considered shall include --
>
>(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of
a
>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; and
>
>(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the
>copyrighted work.
>
>The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair
use
>if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
