Definition of Copyright: Copyright is a set of rights given to the original creator including the right for someone else to copy an original piece of work ( videos, music, info, etc). Copyright owners have the right to put control on over copying and exploitation of their own work for a certain amount of time, after which the work is said to enter the public domain. Uses covered under limitations and exceptions to copyright, such as fair use, do not require permission from the copyright owner. All other uses require permission. Copyright owners can license their exclusive rights to others.
Fair Use
Fair use (a limitation to the exclusive right granted by copyright law to the creator of his own work) is a doctrine in United States Copyright law that allows limited use of material that is copyrighted without acquiring permission from the creator. Examples are criticism, research, news reporting, etc. It provides for the legal incorporation of another person's work. This term originated in the USA.
