Fair Use has always been deliberately vague. You are supposed to use the minimum amount that will achieve your goal without compromising the heart of the work or the value to the rights holder. In this case I would say 99.9% you are fine but two potential issues. Is this going to be an event that charges admission? This does not in anyway rule out "fair use" but it can raise the bar. The other issue is I think less legal than practical, I am going to assume you have a Disney version in the mix? They are notoriously litigious and often just best to avoid the trouble. I would also be careful to credit each version you use material from. In general the type of thing you describe is what "fair use" was meant for, using portions of works to create a new work without harming the original works. Good luck Jessica On Thu, Oct 1, 2015 at 12:20 PM, Moshiri, Farhad <mosh...@uiwtx.edu<mailto:mosh...@uiwtx.edu>> wrote: As far as I understand the copyright law and fair use, you can do this but you're limited to up to 3 minutes of each film and you should not select the "heart of the work" in this 3 minutes limit for each film.

Sounds like fair use to me. Also, I perceive your risk in this situation as extremely low. You’re not charging admission for the film, right? Not a money making venture? BTW sounds like a cool program! This summer I saw the Czech film “Alice” at a big outdoor screening. Such an amazing interpretation of the tale. Sarah Sarah E. McCleskey, M.A., M.S.L.S.

Here is the scenario: We are doing a big ALICE in WONDERLAND promo gig (display, film and speaker). The student working on the PR would like to use a scene from 5 different versions of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. We would then like to put it on the web (our library page, but it would be accessible to all). In the world of ‘fair use’ and ‘remix’ can we do this legally? I don’t feel qualified to give a definitive yes or no on this. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
