Discuss the Fair Use Doctrine. What are the four statutory factors used to determine if a use is fair?


Fair use was originally a common law doctrine developed by judges who recognized that the monopoly rights protected by copyright were not absolute. When a use did not injure the market for the original work and advanced a public purpose, such as education or further artistic innovation, it could be considered fair.
The four statutory factors are: (1) the purpose and character of the use, including if it is of a commercial nature or for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the work as a whole; (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Slick It, Inc. ? Render is a salesperson for Slick It, Inc. Slick It does not sell products with its own brand name. Instead, its products are created for different retail stores and carry the store brand. Render thought that several changes needed to be made to a particular product, but Slick It management reminded him that the stores, not Slick It, owned the brand. ? However, because Slick It had been concerned about dropping sales, management listened to Render's concerns about the company's pricing. He suggested using a different pricing strategy. More specifically, he felt that the company should incorporate a multiple-unit pricing strategy because it would then allow Slick It to set a single price for multiple units. This had the potential of increasing sales and therefore

profits, so management agreed to consider Render's suggestion. Refer to Slick It, Inc. When Render thinks of products and brands adding value to the company that sells them, which concept is he referring to? A. Equilibrium brand B. Brand extension C. Generic name D. Brand demand E. Brand equity
