--Section 107Copyright Act of 1976
“It not only allows but encourages socially beneficial uses of copyrighted works such as teaching, learning, and scholarship. Without fair use, those beneficial uses— quoting from copyrighted works, providing multiple copies to students in class, creating new knowledge based on previously published knowledge—would be infringements. Fair use is the means for assuring a robust and vigorous exchange of copyrighted information.”
--Carrie Russell, American Library Association
Fair Use in Media Education Video
Educators can:
1. make copies of newspaper articles, TV shows, and other copyrighted works and use them and keep them for educational use
2. create curriculum materials and scholarship with copyrighted materials embedded
3. share, sell and distribute curriculum materials with copyrighted materials embedded
Learners can:
4. use copyrighted works in creating new material
5. distribute their works digitally if they meet the transformativeness standard
Transformative Use is Fair Use
When a user of copyrighted materials adds value to, or repurposes materials for a use different from that for which it was originally intended, it will likely be considered transformative use; it will also likely be considered fair use. Fair use embraces the modifying of existing media content, placing it in new context.
--Joyce Valenza, School Library Journal
National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) has adopted the “Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education” as its official policy on fair use
The Code of Best Practices Helps
• To educate educators themselves about how fair use applies to their work
• To persuade gatekeepers, including school leaders, librarians, and publishers, to accept well-founded assertions of fair use
• To promote revisions to school policies regarding the use of copyrighted materials that are used in education
• To discourage copyright owners from threatening or bringing lawsuits
• In the unlikely event that such suits were brought, to provide the defendant with a basis on which to show that her or his uses were both objectively reasonable and undertaken in good faith.

Finally, the end to copyright confusion has arrived?
Renee Hobbs, author of this book, feels that it has. She has worked extensively on this issue.
