Photography Fair Use

Gathering Inspiration from Other Fabulous Kingdoms

As Cottonwood Faire™ is a Historical festival with educational, scholastic, and academic merit, Cottonwood Faire™ claims Fair Use for some photos under Section 107 of the Copyright Act. 

​

Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Fair use is using copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner.

​

Cottonwood Faire may use copyrighted material which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. Cottonwood Faire is making such material available for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research and believes this constitutes a "fair use" of any such copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the United States Copyright law.
