the effect of its use

Explanation:

To determine fair use, courts consider four factors: 1) The purpose and character of the use (how the work was used), 2) The nature of the copyrighted work (was the original based on fact or a creation), 3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used (how much of the original was used), 4) The effect of the use on the potential market (the effect of its use). The other options (attribution, when created) are not part of the four fair use factors.

Answer:

• Was the original based on fact or is it someone’s creation.
• How much of the original was used
• How the work was used.
• The effect of its use
