    This document summarizes copyright and fair use as it relates to digital images. It discusses that to use an image, authorization from the creator is needed to avoid copyright infringement. However, fair use allows for use of an image without authorization if four factors are considered: purpose of the work, nature of the work, amount used, and effect on the market. It provides an example of how part of an image can be legally used under fair use and introduces a digital tool called DIRC that helps identify if images are protected by copyright or fall under fair use. The document poses examples and asks if they constitute copyright infringement or follow fair use guidelines. It concludes with references on copyright and fair use laws for digital images.

    Copyright and Fair

    Use of Digital Images

    A report by Elizabeth Record Huffaker


    Copyright vs Fair Use

    Practice
    Copyright and Fair Use
    Digital Image Copyright Law: In order to use an image, “you must receive
    authorization from the creator”. (1)

    Digital Image Fair Use: If an image is used, authorization from the creator does not
    need to be received if:

    “Four factors must be considered when determining if your purpose is fair use:
    1. Purpose & Character of the Work
    2. Nature of the Work
    3. Amount Used
    4. Effect on the Market” (2)
    When using an image, part of the
    image can be legally used without
    infringing upon copyright.
