Suppose you have been assigned to write a lengthy analysis of a copyrighted poem, and post the analysis to a Web site. As a part of your analysis, however, you wish to quote substantial portions of the poem. In order to find out whether you will be within the fair use guidelines of copyright law, visit some of the Web sites discussing copyright and fair use listed below and then answer the questions based on those sites. If want to research further into this issue, here are some suggested sites you might wish to visit: The Copyright Web Site (www.benedict.com), the U.S. Copyright Office home page (lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/), the CyberLaw Encylopedia Copyright Law resource page (http://www.gahtan.com/cyberlaw/Copyright_Law/Resources/), Stanford University Library's Copyright and Fair Use page (fairuse.stanford.edu), and Cornell University's Legal Information Institute Copyright Information (www.law.cornell.edu/topics/copyright.html).
