What are the copyright laws in my country and how can I legally use protected content without infringing on the rights of the copyright holder?

In the United States, copyright laws protect Original Works of Authorship that are fixed in a tangible form and created by an individual or entity with its origin in the U.S. Copyright law prohibits any type of unauthorized use or distribution of protected content without permission from the copyright holder. Legally, you can use protected content without infringing on copyright if it is done under one of several specific exceptions and limitations set forth by law. These include “fair use,” providing attribution to the original author, using limited amounts for educational purposes, and complying with terms established by collective rights organizations like SoundExchange. To learn more about protecting your own intellectual property and properly using others’ creative work, you should consult a qualified IP attorney specializing in copyright law.

The copyright law in your country should list what activities are protected under copyright, how long those protections last, and what rights the copyright holder has. Depending on the type of content, you may be able to legally use it if you fall under an exception to the rule such as fair use or quote a small amount for educational or criticism purposes. If you plan to use a substantial amount of content, it is recommended that you get permission from the copyright holder or pursue one of the available legal license options.
