The doctrine of Fair Use and the difference between Governing law and jurisdiction in Arbitration.

Question

Accepted Answer

Fair Use doctrine allows limited use of copyrighted material. Governing law determines which laws apply in arbitration.

Fair Use doctrine permits the use of copyrighted material for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.
The four factors considered in determining Fair Use are the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used, and the effect of the use on the potential market for the copyrighted work.
Governing law refers to the laws that apply to the arbitration agreement and the arbitration proceedings. It is determined by the parties in the arbitration agreement or by the arbitrator.
Jurisdiction in arbitration refers to the power of the arbitrator to hear and decide a dispute. It is determined by the arbitration agreement or by the law of the place where the arbitration is taking place.
