So true that copyright law is nationally based! Thank you for that reminder, Dan! So use the copyright law where you are based. In some nations, fair dealing can either be ample (Canada's fair dealing in some cases allows for more amplitude than US fair use!), specifically exempt research, or have unsuspected crevices. Some nations have a "right of quotation" clause that can be filled with practice--among them South Africa, and all the Scandinavian nations. So definitely explore your options!

Please see my previous message regarding fair dealing in the UK.
I am a big fan of the fair use best practices project for the U.S., and possibly for jurisdictions like Israel that have emulated the U.S., but the doctrine is not universal. YMMV.

Hello all, I'm in the process of planning a research project that will involve recording how players emotionally and cognitively respond to particular types of video games. I'm hoping to allow participants to play a commercially available game for 60-90 minutes in lab conditions. There will be three different games with ten participants for each game. I had intended to use my personal copies of these games (purchased on Steam) for the experiment, but am unsure if this would make me legally vulnerable without seeking permission of the developers. Does anyone have any knowledge of whether this type of distribution would be considered 'fair use' of copyrighted materials? Any advice much appreciated!
