Section 107 of the US Copyright Act of 1976 explains that you can use copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright owner if your use is considered “fair use”. Fair use includes criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
A copyright disclaimer under Section 107 specifies that the use of copyrighted material happens on the basis of fair use and that you do not claim any ownership of the material you’re using.
A fair use disclaimer can help you protect yourself against copyright infringement claims, but it’s not a permission to use copyrighted work as you like. Fair use applies in limited cases, and you need to meet certain criteria.
