Project Gutenburg
In general, works are in the Public Domain if they were published before 1923.
Fair Use
The most important limitation on the rights of a copyright holder. It permits use of works for teaching, learning, and scholarship.
Problem: There is no specific answer to the question “Is this a fair use?”
CONFU (Draft) Guidelines
The Conference on Fair Use (1994-1998) was an attempt to develop guidelines for the emerging digital environment.
Consensus among the members of the user communities and the content communities could never be achieved.
Factors determining Fair UseSection 107
1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is for commercial or non-profit educational purposes.
2. The nature of the copyrighted work
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. The effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
