title = "Approximating fair use in LicenseScript",
abstract = "Current rights management systems are not able to enforce copyright laws because of both legal and technological reasons. The contract rights granted by a copyright owner are often overridden by the users{\textquoteright} statutory rights that are granted by the laws. In particular, Fair Use allows for {"}unauthorized but not illegal{"} use of content. Two technological reasons why fair use cannot be upheld: (1) the current XML-based rights expression language (REL) cannot capture user{\textquoteright}s statutory rights; and (2) the underlying architectures cannot support copyright enforcement. This paper focuses on the first problem and we propose a way of solving it by a two-pronged approach: (1) rights assertion, to allow a user to assert new rights to the license, i.e. freely express her rights user fair use; and (2) audit logging, to record the asserted rights and keep track of the copies rendered and distributed under fair use. We apply this approach in LicenseScript (a logic-based REL) to demonstrate how LicenseScript can approximate fair use.",
