Outside Hollywoodland recognizes that ‘selected portions’ of original articles may be used, as per the “Fair Use Doctrine”, by anyone, and at any time. Please be respectful when quoting or citing ‘selected portions’ of written works from the Outside Hollywoodland.com website and reference all sources that may be used.

Original written material that is contained within the body of this website, known as “Outside Hollywoodland.com”, and written by staff authors, is the sole property of the staff authors and may not be reproduced – in their entirety - elsewhere without their explicit written permission. Please see the Cast and Crew page for contact information.

As per the United States Copyright Office: "Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors of 'original works of authorship,' including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works."

Sections of secondary articles, quotes, graphics, production stills, movie posters, video covers, etc., are the property of their respective studio and are used without permission in accordance with the fair use doctrine (title 17, U.S. Code). To report claims of copyright infringement, found on this website, please contact the owner, Paulette Reynolds, at: p.reynolds@outsidesidehollywoodland.com .

Outside Hollywoodland recognizes that, as stated in the Copyright Code, “ The distinction between “fair use” and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission.” Having stated that, we further recognize that our use – as defined by “fair use” – of ‘selected portions’ of secondary scholarly sources, articles, photos, etc., is done with full knowledge of our ethical duty to be RESPONSIBLE in that use.

Furthermore, it is not the intent of this website, known as Outside Hollywoodland, nor its owner/editor, Paulette Reynolds, to use any materials to slander or malign any person or persons, other websites, studios, etc, nor for commercial gain.

Additional Information:

§ 102. Subject matter of copyright: In general

(a) Copyright protection subsists, in accordance with this title, in original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. Works of authorship include the following categories:

(1) literary works;
(2) musical works, including any accompanying words;
(3) dramatic works, including any accompanying music;
(4) pantomimes and choreographic works;
(5) pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works;
(6) motion pictures and other audiovisual works;
(7) sound recordings; and
(8) architectural works.

(b) In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work.

§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include —

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for
nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made
upon consideration of all the above factors.

Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered “fair,” such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:

1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for
nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use: “quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author's observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported.”
