Fair use exists in [[Polish law]] and is covered by the [[Polish copyright law]] articles 23 to 35.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.prawo.pl/dz-u-akt/-/dokument/Dz.U.2016.666/16795787/2047977|title=Dz.U.2016.666 t.j. – prawo.pl|access-date=December 30, 2016|language=pl|archive-date=October 8, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241008080726/https://www.prawo.pl/akty/dz-u-2022-2509-t-j,16795787.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Compared to the United States, Polish fair use distinguishes between private and public use. In Poland, when the use is public, its use risks fines. The defendant must also prove that his use was private when accused that it was not, or that other mitigating circumstances apply. Finally, Polish law treats all cases in which private material was made public as a potential copyright infringement, where fair use can apply, but has to be proven by reasonable circumstances.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://techlaw.pl/prawo-cytatu/|title=Kiedy możemy korzystać z prawa cytatu?|date=December 1, 2013|access-date=December 30, 2016|language=pl|archive-date=January 20, 2014|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140120202637/http://techlaw.pl/prawo-cytatu/|url-status=live}}</ref>
