[Libs-Or] Fair use question

[MILLER Neil]

I would encourage you to do a little research on your own and come to your own conclusions, or consult an attorney.
There are a few FAQs geared towards non-profits and fair use out on the internet like the following: http://www.publiccounsel.org/tools/publications/files/fairuse.pdf
There is also lots of copyright information in the NOLO materials now available through the State of Oregon Law Library's resources here: http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=custuid&custid=ns134741&profile=lirc
Good Luck!

Subject: [Libs-Or] Fair use question

Hi folks,

I'm trying to determine where a possible library program falls in terms of fair use.

I'm investigating the notion of holding music listening parties at the library -- the kind of thing where we would listen to an album in full, and then discuss. I'm not sure, however, if I would need to obtain performance rights to any albums we listened to. Thoughts?
