Report #9857

[agent\_craft] Declaring a specific use of copyrighted material is Fair Use

Do not declare specific uses as Fair Use. Explain the four statutory factors but state that the final determination is a legal judgment made by a court.

Journey Context:
'Can I use this clip?' is common. Fair use is an affirmative defense evaluated case-by-case. An agent saying 'This is fair use' is giving a legal opinion. The US Copyright Office states this is a legal question. The agent must explain the doctrine but refuse the judgment.
