Reclaiming Fair Use: How to Put Balance Back in Copyright Patricia Aufderheide and Peter Jaszi In the increasingly complex and combative arena of copyright in the digital age, teachers wonder if they can teach about popular culture or put images in their slide presentations; remix artists and feminist critics wonder if they'll get in trouble for making a sharp political commentary in video; and filmmakers want to know whether that music in the background of their shot needs to be cleared. Misinformation abounds, Patricia Aufderheide and Peter Jaszi chart a clear path through the confusion by urging a robust embrace of a principle long embedded in copyright law but too often misunderstood - fair use. By challenging the widely held notion that current copyright law has become unworkable and obsolete in the era of digital technologies, Reclaiming Fair Use promises to reshape the debate in both scholarly circles and the creative community. Based on the authors' years of experience working with creative professionals, this indispensable guide offers no-nonsense advice and practical examples for content producers.
