Fair use permits limited use of copyrighted material for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, or research. Courts evaluate four factors:

• Purpose & character — Transformative or merely copying?

• Amount used — Small portion or entirety?
• Market effect — Harm to original's market value?
