The Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the photocopying or other reproduction of copyrighted materials. Section 107 of the Copyright Law sets four factors as guidelines for determining fair use of material. Declaring fair use is complex and conducting a four-factor fair use analysis is critical to any good faith fair use assertion.
The total amount of material on reserve for a class should be small in proportion to the total assigned reading for that class when invoking fair use.
