| Sep 13, 2016 at 15:51 | comment | added | apsillers | For example, U.S. law has four specific fair use factors used by the court to determine a use is defensible under fair use (amount/substantiality of the work used, purpose/character of use, economic impact, and type of work being used). The UK similarly has specific guidelines about what kinds of uses are acceptable, but I'm not familiar with them personally. I imagine most jurisdictions that take copyright seriously have something similar. | |
| Sep 13, 2016 at 15:39 | comment | added | Jordi Castilla | @apsi nice point. do you have some link to the guides that apply here? Or is just our own sense? | |
| Sep 13, 2016 at 15:37 | comment | added | apsillers | No, I'm just pointing out that this 10% rule is a specific license enacted in Australian law for the benefit of academic institutions only. As Stack Exchange isn't an academic institution, it doesn't really matter how close or far you are from this guideline. What does matter (as already answered below) is how well your use falls in line with fair use/fair dealing factors, which generally don't outline specific sizes of use. I merely wanted to minimize confusion between academic license guidelines vs fair use/dealing, since you linked to the academic guidelines with the link text "fair use". | |

| Sep 13, 2016 at 15:29 | comment | added | apsillers | Note that the bit about "10% or one chapter" is not a "fair use" rule in the sense that the phrase is used in the United States (or a "fair dealing" rule, as it is called elsewhere) -- it is a rule that very specifically applies only to academic institutions in Australia. | |

| Sep 12, 2016 at 13:45 | comment | added | Servy | It's also worth noting that the query looks pretty opinion based to me; that you feel the need to quote someone just to have them share their personal opinion is of course a red flag for that. | |
| Sep 12, 2016 at 13:42 | comment | added | Servy | You're going to have the right to quote it to an extent under fair use. No notice in the book is going to affect that. As far as how much of a quote is acceptable, that's not really a hard line when it comes to fair use, even though the amount of content quoted is one of the metrics used by fair use. | |
