It provides legal protection against unauthorized use or copying of the work by others, allowing the creator to control how their work is used and to profit from it.

This allows for the free exchange of ideas and encourages innovation and creativity.

These standards are used to evaluate whether the use of copyrighted material without permission is considered fair use or infringing. The purpose of use refers to the intention behind using the material, whether it is for educational, nonprofit, or commercial purposes. The nature of the work considers the creative or factual nature of the copyrighted material. The proportion/extent of the material used looks at how much of the copyrighted work is being used. Lastly, the effect on marketability examines whether the use of the material could harm the market value or potential market for the original work.

The second question asks if the expression/rendering is protected by copyright, indicating that the teacher should check if the material is legally protected and if they have the right to use it. The third question inquires if the use of the material will go beyond fair use, suggesting that the teacher should assess if their intended use falls within the limitations of fair use or if it exceeds it.
