Under the fair use exceptions, the following can typically be done:
- Use graphics and content for educational purposes in small amounts if you give the creator credit. Fair use often covers the use of copyrighted material for educational purposes, especially if it's a small portion of the work, and crediting the creator is generally a good practice.
The other options—downloading a song for personal use, copying information without giving credit, and posting a project with copyrighted content on the web—are not generally considered fair use and could infringe copyright laws. It’s essential to evaluate the context and purpose of the use, as well as the amount used, before determining if something qualifies as fair use.
