This week is Fair Use/Fair Dealing Week, an annual celebration of the important doctrines of fair use and fair dealing. It is designed to highlight and promote the opportunities presented by fair use and fair dealing, celebrate successful stories, and explain these doctrines.
Over the past five years, ARL has enjoyed coordinating the international Fair Use/Fair Dealing Week celebrations. I’ve enjoyed seeing the celebration grow in number of participants across the world with great events and resources shared each year. While I always look forward to seeing what new resources each celebration brings, we shouldn’t forget about all the great infographics, videos, podcasts and other materials shared previously. Below are some of my favorite resources from past celebrations:
