My article in the January 2001 WD analyses the 4 (non-exclusive) Copyright Act fair use factors: (1) the purpose of the use, (2) the nature of the original work, (3) the amount used and its significance in relation to the original, and (4) the use’s effect on the market or value of the original.

| Copyright: What Every Publisher Should Know About the Work For Hire Doctrine |
|
By Attorney Lloyd J. Jassin
You should be greatly concerned about who owns the work you specially commission. For example, unless there is a special kind of agreement in place before any work begins, someone who contributes material to your new book or web site can, in theory, sell that same material elsewhere without your permission.
