Synthetic Vision System. Flying an airplane or a helicopter in low visibility conditions due to weather and/or time of day is a task that puts a very high workload on the pilot. The high workload increases the chances for mistakes in case of an emergency.
In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and âtransformativeâ purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner. In other words, fair use is a defense against a claim of copyright infringement. If your use qualifies as a fair use, then it would not be considered an illegal infringement.
If itâs not a fair use, then you are infringing upon the rights of the copyright owner and may be liable for damages. The only guidance for fair use is provided by a set of factors outlined in copyright law. These factors are weighed in each case to determine whether a use qualifies as a fair use. For example, one important factor is whether your use will deprive the copyright owner of income. Unfortunately, weighing the fair use factors is often quite subjective. For this reason, the fair use road map can be tricky to navigate. This chapter explains the various rules behind fair use principles. To help you get a feel for which uses courts consider to be fair uses and which ones they donât, several examples of fair use lawsuits are provided at the end of this chapter. Related Topic
