Application for Teachers:We can use them as "FAIR USE". "Fair Use" has a core belief that

copying should be allowed for purposes of criticism, news reporting,teaching and scholarly research. However, Fair Use can be consideredcontroversial because it gives the non- copyright owner permission tomake copies w/o due payment to the owner. The 1976 Copyright Actset forth four provisions by which copyrighted materials could be usedin non-profit educational settings...So as far as copying an image for a report or quoting references out ofbooks, we can use copyrighted sources for non-profit educational

purposes.
