SFU has a Fair Dealing Policy which lays out how much you can copy for purposes of education, research and private study.
Whether something is ‘fair’ will depend on the circumstances. Courts will normally consider factors such as:
- The purpose of the dealing (Is it commercial or research / educational?)
- The character of the dealing (What was done with the work? Was it an isolated use or an ongoing, repetitive use? How widely was it distributed?)
- The amount of the dealing (How much was copied?)
- Alternatives to the dealing (Was the work necessary for the end result? Could a different work have been used instead?)
- The nature of the work (Is there a public interest in its dissemination? Was it previously unpublished?)
- The effect of the dealing on the original work (Does the use compete with the market of the original work?)
It is not necessary that your use satisfy every one of these factors in order to be fair, and no one factor is determinative by itself. In assessing whether your use is fair, a court would look at the factors as a whole to determine if, on balance, your use is fair.
If, having taken into account these considerations, the use can be characterized as ‘fair’ and it was for the purpose of research, private study, education, satire, parody, criticism, review or news reporting, then it will fall within the fair dealing exception and will not require permission from the copyright owner. In addition, if your purpose is criticism, review or news reporting you must also mention the source and author of the work. For further clarity and additional information about limits on the amount and nature of copying permitted under fair dealing in certain contexts, please see the Application of Fair Dealing under Policy R30.04. The application of these limits to teaching at SFU is outlined in the top section of the Copyright Infographic.

Legal Opinion (1)
"When material is placed on the Internet, it can generally be accessed from anywhere in the world. Such material must obviously comply with the laws of the country where the server is located. However, depending on the nature of the material, it may also need to comply with the laws of the other countries where the material may be accessed. This can include intellectual property laws, unfair business practices legislation, consumer protection laws, criminal laws, securities legislation and many others. Of course, there are always grey zones, and individual legal jurisdictions may take different approaches."

ADDENDUM
"Ok ..... so if the photograph in in the public domain, you don't need to ask permission or pay fees (except maybe a one-time fee for an actual physical or digital copy). You’re free to do whatever you want with the copy, generally. Why generally? Because there are some exceptions to what you can do, even then.
If the photograph you want to use includes an identifiable person and you want to use the photo commercially (in an advertisement, say), you’ll need to get permission. If you don’t, you could violate his or her publicity or privacy rights. And no, it doesn’t matter if the person is dead (well, maybe Elvis isn’t ... ;-)." Copyright Public Domain Sherpa
"Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), was a landmark case of the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court upheld the right to have an abortion as established by the "essential holding" of Roe v. Wade (1973) and issued as its "key judgment" the imposition of the undue burden standard when evaluating state-imposed restrictions on that right.[1] Both the essential holding of Roe and the key judgment of Casey were overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022, with its landmark decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization." WKI
