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?

To ensure that his podcast script adheres to fair use principles, Dale should shorten the directly quoted material to a few sentences. While attribution and citation are important, using a long excerpt can exceed fair use guidelines, which often favor shorter quotes that are directly relevant to the discussion.
