United States: Citing Warhol, 10th Circuit Reverses Tiger King Fair Use Ruling - Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz

Fair use is a doctrine in the United States law that permits limited use of copyrighted material without first having to acquire permission from the copyright holder. Fair use is one of the limitations to copyright intended to balance the interests of copyright holders with the public interest in the wider distribution and use of creative works by allowing as a defense to copyright infringement claims certain limited uses that might otherwise be considered infringement.
