Fair use is only applicable in the following cases (quoted directly from the US Copyright Office)“quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported.”Copying for your own use is, technically, not legal for printed material under any other circumstances. So many people are confused by what the Home Audio Recording Act allows, which is copying for your own use, but it DOES NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES apply to printed material. What you're talking about would fall under the "not worth pursuing a case" area, NOT FAIR USE.I'm sorry if I sound a little strident in this post, but I've seen WAY too many times people bandy about "fair use" without having the slightest idea of what it actually means in US law.</blockquote>
