in copyright"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In some parts of the world, copyright law has some limitations and allows some exceptions (for example, \u2018fair use\u2019 and \u2018fair dealing\u2019) to ensure that the rights of the public are not <strong>unduly restricted by copyright<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, by offering exceptions to copyright, the Law permits certain very specific situations where you may be permitted limited use of copyright works without the copyright owner&#8217;s permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Exceptions and limitations to copyright vary by country, and they have territorial jurisdiction, meaning they apply only to that specific country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, since copyright law is unique to its jurisdiction, an exception could be valid in one country but not in others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">For more details, look at the Intellectual
