Section 107 of the Copyright Act

Section 107 of the Copyright Act outlines the concept of "fair use," which allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission. Factors considered include the purpose of use (such as education or commentary), the nature of the work, the amount used, and the impact on the market value. Fair use is intended to promote creativity, learning, and discussion while respecting creators' rights. It doesn't provide a blanket exception but guides whether a specific use qualifies as fair under the law.
