Court Rules Photographs are “Factual Depictions”; Copying Them is Fair Use
Recently, a U.S. court ruled that using online photos can be considered “fair use.” Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) copyright officer Stephen Carlisle was featured in several articles opposing the Court’s decision.
Carlisle states that the Court proceeded to ignore key components of the Copyright Act, disregards readily apparent facts and botches the “transformative use” test.
