issue for your employer

 Protect you and the user

12. "Fair dealing"
 A “fair dealing” with a copyright work does not
infringe copyright if done for one of these
purposes:
 research or private study;
 criticism or review; or
 reporting current events.
 “Fair?” - depends on the facts of a particular
case.
 How much is being used?
 Impact on market for the work
 Nature of work, purpose of use
