Actual Findings on Internet Advertising Although Web advertising becomes a significant portion of marketing budgets, advertisers are still unsure on how to unlock the potential of the Internet. Current findings show that: - Consumer brands spend only a fraction of their advertising budget on on-line advertising. - Technology companies spend five times more on advertising in the WWW. - While banner campaigns are still popular, there is no standardized solution for on-line advertising. - Ad pricing is based on CPM (costs per 1.000 visitors), rather than on results. - Personalized targeting has not yet taken hold. Instead advertisers mainly target on content. At the moment three dominant models are used for Internet advertising: Destination Sites: They use entertainment, high production values and information to pull users in and bring them back again. Micro Sites: Content sites or networks host small clusters of brand pages. Banner Campaigns: Those include other forms of Web advertising like sponsorships.

Fair use Certain acts normally restricted by copyright may, in circumstances specified in the law, be done without the authorization of the copyright owner. Fair use may therefore be described as the privilege to use copyrighted material in a reasonable manner without the owner's consent and allows the reproduction and use of a work for limited purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, and research. To determine whether a use is fair or not most copyright laws consider: 1) purpose and character of the use, 2) nature of the copyrighted work, 3) amount and substantiality of the portion used, and 4) effect of the use on the potential market. Examples of activities that may be excused as fair use include: providing a quotation in a book review; distributing copies of a section of an article in class for educational purposes; and imitating a work for the purpose of parody or social commentary.
