The Limits of Fair Use in Military Scholarship: When, How, and From Whom to Request Permission to Use Copyrighted Works
Abstract
This article addresses the practical considerations facing military authors, with a focus on the process of requesting permission to republish copyrighted works. Part II explores the ethical dimension of intellectual property for military members. It highlights the special obligations imposed on military law practitioners that other civilian authors simply do not face. Part III explores notions of fair use in the creation of scholarly works. It dispels four common myths about the fair use doctrine. Part IV identifies the practical requirements for requesting permission to use copyrighted works. Aside from identifying the steps of the permission process, it provides examples of licensing agreements and a description of consolidated permission services, such as the Copyright Clearance Center. For more complex issues of copyright law, Part V includes references to comprehensive resources.
