The Copyright Act grants permission for the use of copyrighted materials in certain cases. Those who wish to use copyrighted materials must obtain permission from the copyright owner or licensee, or else they may face legal consequences. However, there are some uses of copyrighted materials that are deemed "fair uses" under the Copyright Act, including criticism, commentary, news reporting and teaching. In many cases, these uses require no additional permission from the copyright owner and are covered by the protections offered by US law. Additionally , individuals may sometimes gain access to some copyrighted works through legally sanctioned mechanisms such as Creative Commons licenses or public domain dedications.

You can obtain or use copyrighted materials through legal means by first obtaining permission from the copyright owner. You may be able to do this by contacting the copyright holder directly, or in some cases through a third-party licensing agent. Additionally, there are certain circumstances where it is legal to use Copyrighted materials without permission; this is known as “fair use,” and would depend on factors such as the purpose of the use and whether it harms the original owner’s ability to make money off their work.
