Why do we have copyright laws?

It protects the rights of creators (authors and performers). According to the U.S. Copyright Office (2012), It is a principle of American law that an author of a work may reap the fruits of his or her intellectual creativity for a limited period of time (para. 1).

So, what is Fair Use?

Fair use is the legal term for how much of a copyrighted work that may be used for specific purposes without permission, such as in education. There is a limit to how much of a work may be used. Section 107 of the copyright law sets these guidelines: the purpose (educational or commercial) the nature (creative or factual) the amount (quantity in relation to the whole) the effect (upon the value of the copyrighted material)
