Preferred term

fair use  

Definition

  • Fair use is a copyright concept that allows works to be used in ways that otherwise would infringe on the copyright, but are allowed because the uses are particularly beneficial to society and not particularly harmful to the copyright owner. Fair use thus limits the rights of copyright. [Source: Encyclopedia of the First Amendment; Fair Use]
