Fair Use

This week we completed an assignment which we had to determine whether or not using imformation for a web page would be considered fair use or not. This assigment and the checklist really helped to determine if something was in fair use and permitted to be used without permission. The assignment also forced us to read our classmates responses in order to see others views and respond to them. I think I am going to keep this checklist handy when doing other assignments which requires the use of information that is not my own knowledge.

We also had to come up with four scenarios that were either in fair use or violated it. We had determine whether it was fair use and tell why are why not it would fall under that category. This really helped me with figuring out how to determine whether or not different things would fall under fair use.
