You question your staff member about the excerpt, and she says, “No, I didn’t bother to get permission to reprint it. I remember in media law class something was said about not needing permission to use just a little of something.” If the novel’s author (or publisher) sues the yearbook for copyright infringement, what would your best defense be? Would your defense be successful? Why or why
not? What will be an ideal response?
