Yes, in some cases it is possible to get access to copyrighted material by utilizing exceptions and limitations of copyright law. These may include: fair use, education exception, news reporting exception, or research exceptions. Additionally, subscriptions, licenses and downloadable content may offer access at a lower cost as an alternative to obtaining copies for personal or commercial use from unauthorized sources.

In some cases, it may be possible to get around copyright law and access the content you need. For example, if the material is available under a creative commons license, or if the copyright holder has given permission for its use in a certain way. Additionally, you can try searching for the material online; while the result may not necessarily always be reliable or accurate, this can often serve as a good starting point. Finally, some libraries have subscriptions that allow them to provide users with access to copyrighted material in digital form; these databases are meant specifically for educational purposes and sometimes student ID’s will provide access.
