# data[].attributes.body
Almost impossible to argue fair use with regard to creative works. Factual information is meant to be cited and reused. to some extent. For instance, copying information from an encyclopedia is different than copying information from The Kite Runner.

# data[].attributes.body

With the rise of technology in the last decade, teachers and students need to be aware of possible consequences when using pictures, movies, songs, and other information found on the Internet.
Some of the terms can be confusing for not only scholars but adults as well.  Our guide can serve as an overview for educators and those in the educational world in order to help protect them and the creators of the informational tools.
Fortunately, there are a variety of resources or ways to use certain materials that are free, don't violate any copyright laws, and offer educational value.  Educators and students need to know what these are and how to use them.
