A local community radio station hosts a 20-minute panel discussion on a current social issue. During the discussion, a panelist quotes a 150-word passage from a copyrighted investigative article not in the public domain to illustrate a point. The program is broadcast live to the public and is later posted on the station’s website for on-demand listening and download. No license or permission from the author or publisher was obtained. (a) Identify the limitation on copyright applicable and state the governing rule. (b) Apply the limitation to the facts and determine whether the use is permissible. Conclude briefly whether the radio station is liable.
