Fair Use refers to quoting from an author's work without getting direct permission.  It refers to how much of it you can use safely without getting sued.

What does Fair use" mean? 

(I think I may can guess its meaning; never heard of it before.)

A reporter asked me yesterday what constituted Fair Use:  He thought it
might be thirty words.  Does anyone know for sure?


He interviewed me and David for an article about our writing class.  We will
be reading our work (that is, the entire class will be doing this) at the
Merrick Center for the Arts on June thirteenth from one to three.  However,
the reporter and his photographer seemed most interested in photographing
David's Braille stories.  Of course.  He also was impressed that David
didn't have a pity party when he wrote.  (Positive attitudes still surprise
the sighted public).  The article will most likely be in Saturday's Newsday.
(He hasn't said, but that is when they do their Senior Activities.) Lori
