Berkman Center for Internet & Society - Film and Fair Use:
“Today the Center for Social Media at American University released “A Documentary Filmmakers’ Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use,” which details the situations in which today’s documentary filmmakers believe they have the right to quote copyrighted material without licensing it. What are those situations? According to the report, they are: employing copyrighted material as the object of social, political, or cultural critique; quoting copyrighted works of popular culture to illustrate an argument or point; capturing copyrighted media content in the process of filming something else; and using copyrighted material in a historical sequence.”

I’m working on outreach for this project, so I’m really excited to see this posted here. I’d like to make a small clarification - this is intended as a handbook, to be used!
Put it next to your Final Cut Pro or iMovie and when you are making films, refer to it. Can you use that clip? Yes, I can. Just write to the Center for Social Media for a hard copy. And tell your friends! There is power in numbers.
