Introduction
Audiopuff is committed to respecting intellectual property rights while providing transformative audio enhancement services. The audio samples presented on this site serve a specific demonstrative and educational purpose, showcasing our proprietary audio processing technology. Our use of pre-existing master recordings for comparative demonstration is conducted in accordance with the fair use doctrine under Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act.
Fair Use Analysis
Under U.S. copyright law, the determination of fair use is based on three factors:
1. Purpose and Character of the Use
The audio excerpts featured on our site are transformed through proprietary technology, demonstrating enhancements in clarity, punch, and depth. This serves a technical and educational purpose, not a purely entertainment-based one. Courts have repeatedly found that transformative uses are more likely to be fair use.
2. Nature of the Copyrighted Work
While the original audio recordings are creative works, their use here is highly limited and presented in an altered format solely for comparative demonstration.
3. Effect on the Market for the Original Work
Audiopuff’s demonstrations do not serve as a substitute for the original recordings and do not impact their commercial value. Rather, they promote improvements that may benefit rights holders by showcasing the potential for higher-quality releases.
No Infringement Intended
Audiopuff does not claim ownership of the original master recordings used in demonstrations. The purpose of these samples is to illustrate audio processing technology, not to distribute, sell, or exploit copyrighted content.
