Including copies of material in a lesson (which is used only among the limited audience of that classroom) is usually a different situation than including material on a Web site or in an app that you are redistributing to a wide audience. Most teachers I know have at times utilised copyrighted materials in their lessons to various degrees, without any hesitation or seeking legal advice, but placing those materials onto a public site or app would require different considerations and probably specific legal advice. | |

However, it is also educational. Can the application be commercial and educational at the same time and still have factor 1 weigh in favour of fair use? | |
| Jun 19, 2023 at 14:46 | comment | added | phoog | As phrased, the question is very specific to your situation. Requests for specific legal advice are off topic. Consider rewriting the question so it is about possible application of a specific law to a set of hypothetical facts ("suppose there is a website that does X; how would fair use apply?"). Otherwise it will be closed. | |
