Fair Use

This week we had to determine whether or not the use of certain information was fair use or not. We were given a detailed checklist to go by that was very interesting to me. We looked at different scenarios and then had to determine whether or not the information was being used fairly by someone. It was also useful to see what some of our classmates had written about the scenarios because many times we had differences of opinion. The checklist was very useful and I will probably hang on to it and use it down the road.

We also had to create four scenarios of our own that were either fair use or were in violation of it. This was also a great experience because it allowed me to determine just where the line is drawn for fair use.
