The copyrighted works that we're using in Project 1 exhibits fair use of the copyrighted material because we are transforming them towards a scholarship use. We are using them as a means of teaching the class about our topic, the hipster/hip-hop/skater culture. We are re-purposing the pictures in our slideshow not only for research but they are also open for comment from the rest of the class. We are using them in the situation of fair use because we are modifying the existing content by placing it in a new context. The purpose of the original pictures are to advertise music, clothing, accessories and even show NBA player fashion. The purpose of the new work that we remixed is to document and show the class the ways in which the hipster/skater/hip-hop culture changed over the years. We are not repeating the work for the same intent and value as the original. We also took in consideration the amount and didn't take the entire material from the same site. We diversified our work so that it can actually look like a remix instead of just something that was stolen.

We will use the pictures for illustration and example and also comment and critique that copyrighted material. Since our teacher is going to capture our presentation on film it will also count as reproducing the copyright material in order to preserve our experience of performing in front of the class. We are doing this in order to launch a discussion throughout the class about our cultural phenomenon topic and if it is relevant. It should also count as using the material in order to teach. If the copyright holder tries to threaten us, we can say that under Section 107 of the copyright act of 1976, we have the right to borrow his work for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching and research.
