Copyright protects original creative works like lesson plans, books, videos, and songs.

It begins as soon as the work is created

You don’t need a symbol for copyright to apply

Others cannot copy, share, or modify the work without permission
💡 Tip: Assume everything online is copyrighted unless it clearly says otherwise!

Fair Use lets you use small parts of copyrighted content without permission—but only if your use passes 4 tests:

1. Purpose: Is your use educational or transformative?

2. Nature: Is the original work factual or creative?

3. Amount: Did you use just what’s necessary?

4. Effect: Does your use hurt the market for the original?

📌 Fair Use = Judgment Call, not a guarantee.

Transformative works take copyrighted material and use it in a new, meaningful way.
They add value by analyzing, commenting, or remixing.
Examples:

A parody video of a commercial

A critique video using short clips of a movie

A student comic retelling a myth with new dialogue

Post Title: Real Case Example: H3H3 Wins in Court
Description:
YouTubers H3H3 were sued for using parts of another video.
The court ruled it was fair use because:

They critiqued the original video

They added commentary

Their video was not a replacement for the original

✅ Transformative + Commentary = Fair Use Win
