The boundaries between copyright and fair use are not only vague, but frequently changing. The rapid introduction of digital based works has only exacerbated this ambiguity. As a result, many individuals end up censoring themselves because of this fear of the unknown. My presentation "Understanding Fair Use," at the HighEdWebDev Conference argued that there can be benefits to this ambiguity and provided tools to understand the fundamental principles behind the doctrine of fair use.
Fair Use is your legal right!
Fair Use is a philosophical idea, more than it is a literally stated definition.
UPDATE: My presentation has been awarded best in track by the attendees at the 2006 HighEdWebDev Conference. Many thanks to those of you who voted for this presentation.
