What is Copyright? - Page 5

(a) FALSE COPYRIGHT MANAGEMENT INFORMATION- No person shall knowingly and with the 
intent to induce, enable, facilitate, or conceal infringement--
    (1) provide copyright management information that is false, or
    (2) distribute or import for distribution copyright management information 
    that is false.
(b) REMOVAL OR ALTERATION OF COPYRIGHT MANAGEMENT INFORMATION- No person shall, 
without the authority of the copyright owner or the law--
    (1) intentionally remove or alter any copyright management information,
    (2) distribute or import for distribution copyright management information 
    knowing that the copyright management information has been removed or 
    altered without authority of the copyright owner or the law, or
    (3) distribute, import for distribution, or publicly perform works, copies 
    of works, or phonorecords, knowing that copyright management information 
    has been removed or altered without authority of the copyright owner or the 
    law, knowing, or, with respect to civil remedies under section 1203, having 
    reasonable grounds to know, that it will induce, enable, facilitate, or 
    conceal an infringement of any right under this title.

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a 
copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords 
or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, 
comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), 
scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining 
whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors 
to be considered shall include - 
    (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of 
    a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 
    (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; 
    (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the 
    copyrighted work as a whole; and,
    (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the 
        copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself 
        bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration 
        of all the above factors.
