Announcing the IASPM-US Fair Use Web Survey

In recent years, educators have found it increasingly difficult to incorporate into their teaching and research elements of music, such as making songs available for classroom use or quoting lyrics in a peer reviewed journal article. Quite simply, it should be easier for educators and researchers to make decisions about fair use quotations of musical materials, and clearer guidelines will enhance scholarly research without undermining the rights of copyright owners. This study will help develop fair use guidelines that will help alleviate these sorts of problems.
