Notwithstanding the provisions of sections\u00a017 U.S.C.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a7\u00a0106<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a017 U.S.C.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a7\u00a0106A<\/a>, 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,<\/strong> 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:<\/p>\n

- the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; [Dad: All uses of copyrighted material are for educational and nonprofit purposes. \u00a0This site does not contain any advertising.]<\/strong><\/li>\n
- the nature of the copyrighted work; [Dad: The nature of the copyrighted works are such that they entice children to imitate them. \u00a0Even Janelle’s comics that are not entirely original still bear her own interpretation and sense of humor. They are the visual equivalent of fan fiction.]<\/strong><\/li>\n
- the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; [Dad: Although her output is prolific, Janelle isn’t just taking several pages of a published comic book and tracing them. \u00a0Even if she imitates a three panel comic, she will often change the story slightly and add her own interpretation.]<\/strong><\/li>\n
- the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. [Dad: Janelle’s work is not going to have any negative impact on the potential market or value of the copyrighted works. \u00a0If anything, the readers and viewers of this blog might pick up a comic that they haven’t looked at yet.]<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.<\/sup><\/p>\n
