To help determine whether your use is fair, examine your use by asking yourself questions, such as
What is the nature of the work? Is it creative or factual? Published or unpublished?
Does the portion I want to use make up the "soul" of the work? Can I make my point using less?
What effect might my use have on the market for the original work? Am I replacing a potential sale?
Look at your use of a copyrighted work and whether it is fair. Where the work is found or how much of the work you intend to use is less important than how you use the work itself.
