The definition of copyright is the exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same. from https://www.google.com. First senerio deals with a professor has posted his class notes on a web page available to the public. He wants to scan an article from a copyrighted journal and add it to his web page. The professor cant take credibility of the article and there for violating copyright regulations. Another example would be a professor decides to make three copies of a textbook and place them on reserve in the library for the class. This would also violate the copyright holder's right making it illegal for the professor to do such thing.
Fair use means that a person who copyrights something is not doing anything illegal. It is okay and does not need the approval to copy the owners original work.
