CREA TIVEFIRST COPYRIGHT 101

There are some exceptions where you can use works without requiring permis-
sion from a copyright owner.

Unlike Section 107 of the Copyright Act (title 17 of the U.S. Code) that provides
for factors for determining whether a particular usage falls within the fair use
doctrine and therefore not amounting to infringement of copyright in any
copyright-protected work, Section 52 of the Copyright Act lays down an
exhaustive list of acts that do not amount to infringement of copyright.

Such acts include fair dealing with any work for the purpose of private or
personal use, research, criticism, review, reporting of current events and affairs
and certain other activities such as communication of cinematograph lms and
sound recordings in an educational institution if the audience is limited to the
students and staff of such education institution, playing of recordings in
non-for-pro t a clubs or similar organizations, inclusion in cinematograph lms
of any artistic work which is permanently situated in a public place or any other
artistic work if the inclusion is by way of background or is incidental to the
principal matters represented in the lm, in a bona de religious ceremony
including marriage procession and social festivities associated with
marriage etc.
