Correct answer: Fair use.
Fair use is the legal doctrine that can allow a student (or teacher) to use portions of copyrighted works for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, scholarship, and education. Whether a particular use qualifies depends on four factors:
- Purpose and character of the use (educational/nonprofit favors fair use)
- Nature of the copyrighted work
- Amount and substantiality of the portion used
- Effect of the use on the market for the original
Note: Fair use is not automatic — it’s a case-by-case determination. There are also specific statutory rules for educational contexts (e.g., the TEACH Act) that set conditions for certain kinds of classroom transmissions.
