All ILLiad users agree to observe publisher copyright restrictions. The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials. Under certain conditions specified in Section 108 of this law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research. Nearly all noncommercial, scholarly uses of copyrighted materials are protected as "fair use" (Section 107). But if a user exploits a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of fair use, that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
