Fair Dealing and Fair Use Policy
This section outlines our policy on Fair Dealing (Canada) and Fair Use (United States) as it pertains to the use of copyrighted material on our website. Our aim is to respect intellectual property rights while allowing for the legitimate use of copyrighted content in accordance with applicable laws.
Fair Dealing (Canada)
In Canada, the concept of Fair Dealing permits the use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the copyright holder under certain circumstances. These circumstances include:
- Research and Private Study: Users may use copyrighted material for personal research or study purposes.
- Criticism and Review: Use of material for critical analysis or review, provided the source is mentioned.
- News Reporting: Journalistic use of material for news reporting, again with proper acknowledgment of the source.
- Education: Use within educational institutions for instructional purposes.
- Parody and Satire: Use of copyrighted works in a transformative way to create parody or satire.
The scope of Fair Dealing is subject to several factors, including:
- Purpose of Use: The intention behind using the material.
- Character of the Dealing: How the material is used.
- Amount Used: The proportion of the work used in relation to the whole.
- Alternatives: Availability of alternatives to the dealing.
- Nature of the Work: Whether the work is published or unpublished.
- Effect on the Market: The impact of the use on the market value of the original work.
Fair Use (United States)
In the United States, Fair Use allows for limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the rights holders under specific conditions, typically for purposes such as:
- Criticism and Commentary: Using material to provide analysis or commentary.
- News Reporting: Use in journalistic contexts to report news.
- Teaching, Scholarship, and Research: Educational and research activities.
- Parody: Creating a new work that pokes fun at the original.
The determination of Fair Use is based on a four-factor test:
- Purpose and Character of Use: Whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes. Transformative uses (which add new expression or meaning) are more likely to be considered fair.
- Nature of the Copyrighted Work: The type of work being used; factual works are more likely to qualify than fictional works.
- Amount and Substantiality: The quantity and significance of the portion used in relation to the whole work.
- Effect on the Market: The impact of the use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
