unauthorized uses of a copyrighted work constitute
infringement. Some of the exceptions fall under a
doctrine called "fair use," and include usage for
newsworthy or educational purposes, and other uses, which
attempt to balance the right to free speech and the need
in a democratic society to disseminate information to the
public, with the copyrights owner's right to control the
use of the copyrighted work.
