COPYRIGHT AND FAIR USE
Material on this site has been (a) created by the site author, Luigi M Bianchi, or (b) assembled
from a variety of Internet web sites and has been placed here for ease and rapidity of local access,
or, (c) in the case of small amounts of text, derived from material published by other authors.
As for original material prepared by Luigi M Bianchi, permission is hereby given to use it freely
in digital or printed form, but only for non-commercial, educational and research purposes,
as long as the source and date of last modification, the name of the author and his affiliations, as well
as this notice, are explicitly included. All materials on this site that have been authored by Luigi M Bianchi
are © 1999-2007 by Luigi M Bianchi; all rights reserved. A good faith effort has been made
to comply with US and Canadian copyright law. This does not mean that none of the material is copyright,
but that the fair use clause, as explicated for example at the Stanford University website,
has been adhered to.
In particular, any copyright material used here is (a) not used for personal commercial gain, and is used
exclusively for educational purposes; and (b) is used in limited amounts in comparison to the
published source. If there are any objections that material placed here does not conform to the
fair use provisions outlined, contact Luigi M Bianchi, and
such material will be removed immediately pending resolution of the issue.
The fair use doctrine allows limited reproduction of copyrighted works for educational
and research purposes. The relevant portion of the copyright statute provides that the fair use
of a copyrighted work, including reproduction for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching
(including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research is not an infringement of
copyright. The law lists the following factors as the ones to be evaluated in determining whether a
particular use of a copyrighted work is a permitted fair use, rather than an infringement of
the copyright:
