A Note Concerning Responsible Use of Copyrighted Materials Like photocopiers, scanners can be misused by improper copying of copyrighted material. Although Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 (Title 17, United States Code), the “fair use” doctrine, permits limited copying in certain circumstances, those circumstances may not be as broad as some people assume.
