Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Poetry
This code of best practices helps poets understand when they and others have the right to excerpt, quote and use copyrighted material in poetry. To create this code, poets came together to articulate their common expectations. Facilitated by American University, The Poetry Foundation and University of California-Berkeley.

Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use
This Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use makes clear what documentary filmmakers currently regard as reasonable application of the copyright Fair Use doctrine. Fair use expresses the core value of free expression within copyright law. The statement clarifies this crucial legal doctrine, to help filmmakers use it with confidence.

Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Visual Arts
Created with and for the visual arts community. Copyright protects artworks of all kinds, audiovisual materials, photographs, and texts (among other things) against unauthorized use by others, but it is subject to a number of exceptions designed to assure space for future creativity.

NOTE: Haiku Chronicles works directly with poets and artists featured in most of our episodes and on our website. We also rely on works that are in Public Domain and the work of artists, poets and musicians, who have graciously share their works by way of Creative Commons. However, there are many situations where we employ Fair Use.
