If the magazine is legally owned by Monic, it is OK if the copyright law on the magazine says so. In many cases, this is a yes, but it’s actually depending on the copyright infringement on the magazine. If sold illegally by not owning the magazine and/or photocopying while violating copyright law (in this case, the book does not allow photocopies), yes. Hope this helps!

Only the copying of the work is forbidden; anyone can copy the ideas included in a work. For example, a copyright might protect a written description of a machine but not the machine itself. As a result, no one could reproduce the written description, yet anyone could use it to build the machine described.

What is fair use doctrine?

Fair use is an affirmative defense that can be used in response to a copyright owner's assertion that someone is infringing on their copyright. Fair use allows a party to use a copyrighted work for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research without the permission of the copyright owner. These uses are simply examples of what can be deemed fair use; they do not represent what will always be judged fair use. In truth, because fair use is assessed on a case-by-case basis, there are no hard and fast standards. However, copyright law establishes four considerations that must be examined when determining the fair use.
