This article analyzes the legality of Internet fan fiction through the “fair use doctrine” and the “four factor” test. Internet fan fiction exists in a copyright gray area, because it is (generally) not sold for profit and instead of borrowing from a source material's words, it borrows from their characters and worlds. In addition, there has been no legal precedent set regarding Internet fan fiction, so each instance must be taken on a case by case basis. This article attempts to navigate that gray area by exploring the basics of Fair Use, and then applying them to Internet fan fiction.
