You can google up "fair use" on your own. It turns out that most
applications of the law are, as PTravel as noted, "fact intensive":
essentially every single case is different. And depending on which
facts you are allowed to accept, you can come to radically different
conclusions. Consider this little piece:

which argues that the Kelly decision came to the wrong conclusion.
Sadly, in bulk, IP law reads more like a series of special pleadings
than anything else. Money talks.
