[Air-L] Statement on fair use

[mark latonero]

Re: Andre Brock's question "Does AoIR have a specific statement on
fair use of Internet/ICT materials for research in the field?"

The International Communication Association (ICA) released a "Code of
Best Practices in Fair Use for Scholarly Research in Communication" in
June 2010. The document was created by Pat Aufderheide, Peter Jaszi,
and others (including a cadre of AoIR members). While U.S. centric and
not specifically focused on websites, it may be useful in other
contexts.

Thanks to everyone who's answered me so far (Hi, Annette!).  The legal
advice was particularly helpful, and i'm going to follow
Ulf-Dietrich's advice and contact the websites - i have contacts at a
couple of them.

Does AoIR have a specific statement on fair use of Internet/ICT
materials for research in the field?  I know we have an extensive set
of materials on Ethics... (and no, i'm not volunteering to write it.
i'm just asking)

Andr?
