FAIR USE AND COPYRIGHTS |
Image, video, and audio files from movies on this site are protected by copyright and are used within the guidelines of fair use. You may freely link to any review or page on this website, but please do not link directly to image, video, or audio files.
If you would like to use any of the image, video, or audio captures for a movie review on your own website, by all means do so! Badmovies.org is here to serve the online b-movie community. I do suggest familiarizing yourself with fair use (below), along with reading my essay on fair use, and please download the files to your server. |
PER TITLE 17 - UNITED STATES CODE - SECTION 107: |
"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:
1 the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2 the nature of the copyrighted work;
3 the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4 the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."
All Badmovies.org reviews are copyright by Andrew Borntreger; reproduction without prior written authorization is prohibited. Reader reviews are copyright by the respective authors. It should be noted that "fair use" applies to this site as well; if someone wants to use Badmovies.org's content under the guidelines of fair use, it is completely legal. Copying a review word-for-word is not fair use, but using excerpts with proper attribution is good to go.
Now, get off this darn legal page and find some bad movies to watch!
