Fair Use

metrologist:
Regarding copyright, for a live public presentation (PowerPoint) that is hosted by a third party, like for a trade show, do images copied from various websites fall under fair use? The presentation may be recorded and later posted online by the host as an on-demand lecture. The topic covers public safety considerations during an emergency, and our company offers products related to some of those considerations, and are also featured in the presentation. Would this still fall under fair use as an education lecture?
TimFox:
Since this is a legal, not technical, question, you need to specify which countries are involved.
Copyright law varies with jurisdiction.

If the host/talker posts it to YT then link to the YT vid. Is the safest.

I would talk to the person doing the talk. Many are happy if you include certain part of the message. Especially if its safety related. The issue they might have is they cant endorse a product or be seen endorsing one. But you might be able to make that clear and all will be ok. This is the experience I have from dealing with press/pr for a charity as a volunteer.
metrologist:
It's US market.

The speaker made the presentation. I'm just looking at it and telling him, hey, you can't use those images. We'll get sued. One I'm not certain of, a screen snippet of a news headline and subline, from Business Travel News.
wraper:
Fair use does not protect you from being sued. But if it's a transformative work which does not compete with original source and only uses a small portion of it, then most likely you will win the case.
