According to one source:
Fair use is a doctrine in United States law that permits limited use of copyrighted material without having to first acquire permission from the copyright holder. Fair use is one of the limitations to copyright intended to balance the interests of copyright holders with the public interest in the wider distribution and use of creative works by allowing as a defense to copyright infringement claims certain limited uses that might otherwise be considered infringement.
Some of the photos, videos, quotes, intellectual property, and other material used within this blog are not the product of my own creation. When featuring such content, I make a good faith attempt at citing my sources.
Per another source, “Fair use is extremely favorable to many uses of cover images and movie posters.” I use many cover images and film-related content within my blog. Of this, a separate source states:
In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
Currently, Hollings Therapy, LLC does not monetize blogposts. Therefore, fair use of material not created by me takes into account the aforementioned factors.
All references, clips, information, and other content that may be used by Hollings Therapy, LLC is for fair use commentary, criticism, and informational purposes. See Hosseinzadeh v. Klein, 276 F. Supp.3d 34 (S.D.N.Y. 2017); Equals Three, LLC v. Junkin Media, Inc., 139 F. Supp. 3d 1094 (C.D. Cal. 2015); 17 U.S. Code § 107 - Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use; Harper & Row v. Nation Enterprises.
Furthermore, the Copyright Laws of the United States recognizes a fair use of copyrighted content. In particular, section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act states:
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.
The content expressed in this website (i.e., written material, audio content, video data, photos, etc.) and associated mediums (i.e., blog entries, YouTube channel(s), other social media content, etc.) in general may contain certain copyrighted works that were not specifically authorized to be used by the copyright holder(s), but which I believe in good faith are protected by federal law and the fair use doctrine for one or more of the reasons noted above.
