Stanford University Fair Use Project

The Stanford University Fair Use Project is a legal initiative that supports individuals and organizations in cases where they use copyrighted material for purposes like education, research, or commentary. It focuses on defending fair use rights, which allow limited, lawful use of copyrighted works without permission, especially when such use benefits the public. The project provides legal analysis, advice, and sometimes representation to ensure that creators, teachers, and others can freely use sources for innovative and socially valuable purposes without fear of infringement claims.
