Copyright: fair-use factors

Elements that can be looked at to find "fair use" in copyright:
  • Purpose and character of the use
  • Nature of the workk
  • Amount used--substantial amount or not?
  • Effect on the market or value of the original work
Next, is it parody? (Parody requires reference/incorporation of the original work.)
Or, is it satire? (Satire makes fun of society as a whole, and shouldn't need to reference a single, specific work.)
