Fair use frequently functions as an exemptionexemption to the copyright law for educational and socially important purposes such as teaching, research, criticism, commentary, parody, and news reporting.
What if your use is outside the limits of fair use?
1. Obtain permission directly from the copyright holder.
2. Reconsider your intended use.
