How much am I allowed to copy?

Answer

If you want to copy a copyright work, then find out if you can do so under a license we have and if you can do so under an exception. To find out more about licenses and exceptions, please visit our copyright guide.

How much you are allowed to copy depends on what you are copying, and what you are copying the work for. Generally speaking, you are allowed to copy a "fair" amount of a work for your own private research or study. What is "fair" is not often precisely determined so ask yourself the following questions:

Are you using this copyright work in a way that stops the copyright owner from selling the work or making use of it in the way they intended?

Are you using more of the copyright work than you need for your purpose?
