"Commercial use" refers to the utilization of goods, services, or intellectual property for business purposes, typically aimed at generating profit. This can include selling products, offering services, or using copyrighted materials in advertisements. The key aspect is that the activity is conducted in a way that benefits a business financially. In many cases, commercial use requires permission or licensing from the original creator or owner of the content. For example, using a photograph taken by a professional photographer in a marketing campaign would necessitate obtaining rights to avoid legal issues.
