You are presenting a class in hacking at CCSU. You find code online that that has been used to exploit weaknesses in an information system to download information from that system. You have an agreement with CCSU that allows you to be a “white hat hacker” to identify weaknesses in its security systems. During the class you run the software which actually penetrates the CCSU system, and the school newspaper runs an article. It turns out the code was written by another “white hat” hacker. She files suit against you for copyright infringement. Looking at the relevant factors, can you argue that your use is protected under the fair use doctrine?

First, it’s important to understand what is Copyright laws for computer code.

The material expression of the code comes under the Copyright law not the function that the code performs. And using someone else code without their consent directly comes under Copyright infringement.

In this case If I am using the code without the consent of owner, here I am violating the Copyright laws and directly comes under Copyright infringement.
