What does the "fair use" concept of copyright
mean? If I quote three short lines of lyrics on a t-shirt, am I in violation?
Fair use is a doctrine in the United States allowing for
limited use of someone else’s copyrighted content without their permission.
It depends on these four factors:
-How transformative is your use? Transformative uses include
criticism, news, research, education, and parody.
-How substantial of a portion of the original work do you
want to use? The less, the better.
-How much creative content is in the original work? The less
creative (or more factual), the better.
-How much will your use affect the market value of the
original work? The less your use denies revenues to the copyright holder of the
original work, the better.
Quoting three lines of lyrics on a t-shirt is a
non-transformative use of a substantial portion of a creative work, presumably
denying payment of licensing fees that the copyright holder would normally
charge for use of their song on consumer merchandise. This is not Fair Use of
the song in the opinion of this layman.
