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.
