Sorry I missed this. Too many replies coming in all at once.
In that case fair use is so poorly defined that virtually any amount of copyright infringement can be successfully defended as "fair use" in a court of law.
From your link: Although the courts have considered and ruled upon the fair use doctrine over and over again, no real definition of the concept has ever emerged.

Could you define fair use for us?
Courts: Nope! We have no clue what it means.
