In determining whether the fair-use doctrine provides a valid defense to a claim of copyright infringement, Section 107 of the Copyright Act requires that the court weigh the following four factors: (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 on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
