New Paper Analyzes Fair Use and the Courts
In a new paper, “Educational Fair Use Today,” Jonathan Band reviews three court cases regarding the application of fair use in the digital environment. Band concludes that the “court decisions concerning fair use should give educators and librarians greater confidence for asserting this important privilege. In all three decisions, the courts permitted extensive copying and display in the commercial context because the uses involved repurposing and recontextualization. The reasoning of these opinions could have far-reaching implications in the educational environment.” The paper is available on the ARL Web site at http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/educationalfairusetoday.pdf.
