Recent trends in court decisions have introduced the concept of "transformative use" to the Fair Use discussion, considering
these two questions:
- Has the material you have taken from the original work been transformed by adding new expression or meaning?
- Was value added to the original by creating new information, new aesthetics, new insights, and understandings?
(Stanford: Copyright & Fair Use)
- Transformative uses that repurpose no more of a work than is needed to make the point, or achieve the purpose, are
generally fair use. " (Copyright Crash Course,
Uniiversity of Texas)
