Question

Use the passage to answer the question.

Dale wants to start a book review podcast. In the script for his first episode, he includes a two-page-long excerpt from the climax of a recently released book. He is careful to provide attribution directly before presenting the excerpt, and he includes a citation in the episode’s description. When he reads the script for a group of his friends, they express concern that his script does not adhere to fair use principles.
What does this creator need to change about the podcast script in order for it to adhere to fair use principles?

Answer 1

To adhere to fair use principles, Dale should **shorten the directly quoted material to a few sentences**. Using a two-page-long excerpt from the climax of the book may exceed what is considered fair use, especially if it is a substantial portion of the work.
