How much of someone else's work can I use without getting permission? Under the fair use doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute, it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports. There are no legal rules permitting the use of a specific number of words, a certain number of musical notes, or percentage of a work. Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on all the circumstances. See <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html" target="_blank">FL 102</a>, Fair Use, and <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ21.pdf" target="_blank">Circular 21</a>, Reproductions of Copyrighted Works by Educators and Librarians.2. How much do I have to change in order to claim copyright in someone else's work? Only the owner of copyright in a work has the right to prepare, or to authorize someone else to create, a new version of that work. Accordingly, you cannot claim copyright to another's work, no matter how much you change it, unless you have the owner's consent.
