Section 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, 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.
