The rules for fair use, as of now.
“Another way to use the work of another is if your use of the work can be considered “fair use.” Such uses typically include criticism, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
Fair use is a defense to an infringement lawsuit, and in considering the defense, courts look at four criteria to determine whether the use qualifies as fair use: (1) whether the use is a commercial use or non-profit; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount of the work used; and (4) any effect the use might have on the market value of the protected work. If a court finds for the defendant on all of these factors, then the use is fair, and there is no copyright infringement.
Fair use also encompasses parodies and other “transformative uses” – works that use a protected work in such a way that an entirely new work is created in the process. Parodies are given special attention, because an artist may take exception to his work being parodied – which might involve ridicule – and so refuse to license his work to a parodist. “
