到底什么是合理使用

合理使用是在不用得到允许或支付费用的情况下使用受版权保护的材料的权利。这是在版权法中用于保护自由意见的基本限制。 ‘合理使用’是一个美国短语， 尽管所有版权法律条例有一些限制来避免版权法律成为私有审查机制。
合理使用偏向于如下的使用（1)非商业性和非盈利性的；（2） 同人作品， 在原作基础上加入了新的意义和信息；（3）受限制的， 并不是对原著作的完全拷贝；（4）不可替代原著作。 以上的因素对于合理使用都不是绝对必须的， 但是他们都有助于， 我们也相信像在文库中的同人作品在如上基础上能容易的被定性为合理使用。

为什么OTW再创作组织认为同人作品是合法的？

版权的意图是为了保护创作者在一段时间内从她的作品中获得利润的权利并鼓励创造性努力，以及传播分享知识。 但是这并不阻止他人回应原著作的权利，不论是评论评注， 仿作或者我们所说的，同人作品。
在美利坚合众国， 版权受到合理使用信条的限制。 法律案件Campbell v. Acuff-Rose 佐证了同人性质的使用在合理使用分析中受到特殊的考虑。对那些对阅读深度法律分析有兴趣的人， 更多的信息可以在 Fanlore Legal Analysis页面上被找到。
