Abstract

Fair use plays a critical role in copyright law, protecting certain socially valuable uses of a copyrighted work against claims of infringement so as to maintain the balance between the author’s interest and the general public interest. This article examines the fair use concepts in U.S copyright law and Egyptian Copyright law. The article, according to cases, arranges the fair use factors to reach the methodology that the judges adopted.
