Review the following excerpts from research conducted by American University Washington College of Law:
WHEN COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL IS USED AS ILLUSTRATION IN NEWS REPORTING OR ANALYSIS.
DESCRIPTION:
Journalists use copyrighted material to illustrate as well as provide proof of a story. They may include a photograph from an event, include quotations from people attending an event, or provide an audio sound portrait from an event, among many other uses of illustration. Illustration in reporting is not merely decorative. It serves a news function by adding information and context otherwise either not available or provided in a much less efficient or effective way.
PRINCIPLE:
Fair use applies to illustration in news reporting.
LIMITATIONS:
• The illustration should add meaningfully to the audience’s understanding of the facts or issues.
• The amount employed should be reasonably appropriate to the illustrative purpose.
• When the illustrative material is provided by a business that provides material primarily designed to illustrate current events, such as a syndicated news service, and the use is for reporting on current events, the journalist should purchase the material.
• The journalist should attribute the material in a reasonable manner.
In reviewing the history of contemporary fair use litigation, we find that judges return again and again to two key questions:
• Did the unlicensed use “transform” the copyrighted material by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original?
• Was the material taken reasonably appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?
If the answers to these two questions are “yes,” a court is likely to find a use fair. Because that is true, such uses often are not challenged in the first place. Many of the cases that proceed into the courtroom involve uses that test the limits of fair use, rather than ones within the large field of common fair use practice.
