Explain the concept of fair use in your own words? How do you think you can you apply fair use to you work that you create in this class?

Fair use is when you use a small portion of a work for your own use, but it only applies when you're using it for schoolwork, news reporting, criticizing or commenting, and comedy or parodies. I feel like we will apply fair use in many projects, such as our sweded trailers and parody music videos. I can apply fair use by giving new meaning to a song, for example for my parody music video, I could probably change the lyrics to make it original to me, but still use the instrumental for the background music.
