Factor in or Factor out: The Changing Landscape of Fair Use and the VRA Fair Use Statement
Thursday October 10, 2024 10:15am - 11:15am CDT
Plymouth Ballroom
This session will consider the current legal and technological landscape of fair use with images through the lens of the VRA Statement on the Fair Use of Images for Teaching, Research, and Study from 2013. What circumstances led to the Statement’s creation and use and how does it complement or diverge from other best practice documents? What gaps have developed in the last decade? Where does it meet or fail to meet practitioner and user needs? Presenters and attendees will be encouraged to discuss real-world scenarios they have encountered in their positions and how we might work together as a profession to navigate uncertain or unaddressed use cases. Is a revision worth the momentous effort? Can we envision other solutions?
