Copyright and Fair use

Explain the concept of fair use in your own words? How do you think you can you apply fair use to you work that you create in this class?
Fair use means to utilize the creation of someone else through educational, critical, entertaining, and publication uses. Copyright must be followed in order to protect one's rights for their creation published online. Using without permission, giving credit, or responsibility for the content posted can be considered a violation to the creator's rights. For this class, I believe copyrighted material will most often be used for educational purposes. Images and songs will be used to practice editing and filming, which can be considered an educational purpose. Education is one of the fair uses, in which one can use the creation of another without permission.
