Statement Regarding Copyrighted Material and Fair Use on erotic4u.com

This statement addresses the use of brief clips from motion pictures on the erotic4u.com website and explains the legal basis under which this usage occurs, specifically referencing the doctrine of Fair Use as codified in Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 107).

erotic4u.com operates as a specialized database and platform dedicated to the cataloging, analysis, commentary, and critique of specific thematic content within cinema – namely, the depiction of nudity and sexuality. Our use of brief video clips serves several purposes explicitly protected under the Fair Use doctrine:

1. Purpose and Character of Use (Transformative)

Our use is fundamentally transformative. We do not present clips merely for entertainment or as a substitute for viewing the original film. Instead, clips are isolated, categorized, and presented within a new context for the specific purpose of:

• Commentary and Criticism: Providing analysis and critique of how nudity and sexuality are portrayed, directed, and integrated (or not) into narratives.
• Scholarship and Research: Serving as a unique resource or database for researchers, students, and critics studying film history, censorship, societal attitudes reflected in media, gender representation, or specific directorial/acting choices related to these themes.
• Information and Cataloging: Creating a searchable index that allows users to identify and understand the occurrence and nature of specific types of scenes across a wide range of films.

This transforms the original material into a tool for analysis and information, which is a hallmark of fair use.

2. Amount and Substantiality of Portion Used (Proportionate)

We utilize only short, targeted clips that are reasonably necessary to identify the scene and facilitate the commentary, criticism, or research purpose. The duration is minimal compared to the full length of the original motion picture and is strictly limited to what is required to illustrate the point of analysis or catalog entry. The amount used is proportionate to the transformative purpose.

3. Effect on the Potential Market

Our use does not harm the potential market for or value of the original copyrighted work. erotic4u.com does not function as a market substitute for the original films; users visit our site for specific analytical or informational purposes, not for the narrative entertainment experience provided by the full movie. Our platform serves a distinct function and audience and does not usurp the primary market (e.g., ticket sales, streaming, DVD/Blu-ray) or conventional licensing markets for the original works.

Conclusion

Based on a careful analysis of the four factors mandated by 17 U.S.C. § 107, erotic4u.com operates with the firm belief that its use of brief film clips constitutes Fair Use under U.S. copyright law. Our platform adds significant commentary, criticism, and informational value, transforming the material for analytical and research purposes without negatively impacting the market for the original copyrighted works.
