  Copyright Exemptions: Fair Use
 

Fourth Factor : Market Effect

The fourth factor takes into account how the intended use would impact the market for the work. Generally, the more restricted the use, the less impact on the market. The use of some works such as standardized tests, workbooks or educational videos is very rarely found to be fair use because the works are produced specifically for the educational market.
