02/08/16

Contributed by Wade Pickren

Thursday, February 25, 2:00-3:00 pm
Center for Faculty Excellence, 316 Gannett Center

The language of the fair use factors has changed very little since the nineteenth century, but the doctrine of fair use has changed a great deal. Understanding the history of the factors, particularly their changing importance, is crucial to making accurate fair use decisions today. This webcast will focus on fair use cases from the last forty years, tracing the relative importance of the four statutory factors and their subfactors. Participants will then be asked to practice applying current fair use law to a series of hypothetical fact patterns.
Learning outcomes:
• Learn the history of fair use factors and subfactors including commerciality, publication status, and transformativeness.
• Learn the current relative importance of the four fair use factors and their subfactors.
• Use this knowledge of the fair use factors to make fair use decisions.
Presenter: Ana Enriquez is a copyright lawyer who focuses on the issues facing libraries, universities, and other cultural institutions.  She is a member of the Illinois and Massachusetts bars and is a graduate of Berkeley Law and Harvard College.
