Hey, fellas, what statute are we talking about? Do you mean the introduction to 107 or something else? If you mean the part of 107 that reads --
"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies... for purposes such as... teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use)... is not an infringement of copyright."
"And the statutory factors set forth in the next sentence must be considered in determining whether the making of multiple copies for classroom use is a fair use in "any particular case," just as the statutory factors must be considered in determining whether any other use referred to in the first sentence is a fair use in a particular case. To hold otherwise would be to subvert the intent manifested in the words of the statute and confirmed in the pertinent legislative history."
From MDS.
If it's not 107 that you both mean, could you clue us (me anyway) in as to which statute you're referring to?
