“A stable, predictable climate is an essential life support function of the Earth. Human use of carbon-based fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal has increased the quantity of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that warm the planet. The increase in the Earth's temperature since 1850, and the increase that is forecast to occur over the next 100 years, pose grave risk to all nations. The "climate problem" and the "energy problem" thus are intimately linked, and must be tackled together."
     - Cutler Cleveland, Professor and Author, Boston University

Here is a concise summary of fair use: https://www.teachingcopyright.org. If you are feeling especially ambitous, you can refer directly to Title 17 of the United States Code that describes fair use in the nation’s copyright law: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107
There is a large and growing quantity of content on the Web that is rights-free, or available through other licenses that are low or zero cost. We work with authors to help identify these sources
