Notice about use of copyrighted materials on this site This Web site uses copyrighted materials: excerpts from An Uncertain Grace by Sebastião Salgado mostly, but also photos and other images, and short quotations from a variety of news and other sources. The "fair use" of copyrighted materials is covered by the United States Code Title 17 Section 107, which is reproduced below:
How this site stacks up: (1) This Web site is the result of a class project by Ohio University freshmen. Its purpose is educational and it is nonprofit. (2) The copyrighted work (in the case of An Uncertain Grace) is a collection of photographs with introductory and final essays. (3) This site uses only six photographs from Salgado's work. An Uncertain Grace includes 108 photographs on 156 pages. That works out to be 5% of the book reproduced here. (4) Although it is hard to predict such things, it is my opinion that this site can only increase interest in and sales of Sebastião Salgado's books. This site includes links to Salgado's books on amazon.com, an online bookseller where those interested in reading more can buy Galeano's books, as well as other links that connect viewers with opportunities to buy. In summary, this Web site fits the description of "Fair Use" given by the U.S. Code in every way. What's more, the intention of this site is to honor and analyze Sebastião Salgado's photography as a means of understanding our world better and making our writing better. For more on United States copyright laws, and to see where the above text comes from, see the Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute Web page at www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/ For what it's worth, the LII states on their page that "The United States Code itself is public domain.
