 * 5) Further Application:  Below are some examples of cases involving the defense of fair use (Taken from: http://www.copyrightkids.org/definitions.html#fairuse). Have students or student groups decide what they think the court will rule (Fair Use was allowed as a defense or not).
 * The court held that a book of trivia questions about the "Seinfeld" TV program was not fair use. Although the book was transformative, the TV program was a work of fiction accorded special status under copyright law. The book drew upon essential elements of the TV program, and occupied a market for a derivative work that the [|Copyright Holder] was entitled to control. __Castle Rock Entertainment v. Carol Pub. Group, Inc.__, 955 F. Supp. 260 (S.D.N.Y. 1997), aff'd, 150 F.3d 132 (2d Cir. 1998).
 * The court held that the use in a TV biography about Muhammed Ali of up to 14 film clips of historical footage, each between 41 seconds and two minutes long, was likely to be fair use. Ali was a public figure and his TV biography was the subject of public interest. The allegedly [|Infringing] film clips were not the focus of documentary and were not particularly noticeable, and use of the film clips was not likely to the undercut market for a motion picture. __Monster Communications, Inc. v. Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.__, 935 F. Supp. 490 (S.D.N.Y. 1996).
 * The court held that a parody of the song "I Love New York" performed in a skit on "Saturday Night Live" poking fun at New York City's public relations campaign and its theme song was a protected fair use. __Elsmere Music, Inc. v. NBC__, 623 F.2d 252 (2d Cir. 1980).
 * The court held that that use of copyrighted music played during a parade that happened to be televised by ABC was a fair use. __Italian Book Corp. v. ABC, Inc.__, 458 F. Supp. 65 (S.D.N.Y 1978).
