Indeed. Care to go down the list at [[Fair use]] and check the others for applicability?
First I'd argue the use is de minimis, but that might fail...
purpose and character - highly transformative nature of the copyrighted work - non-fictional work that anyone can download for free over the internet amount and substantiality - not much effect on the work's value - zero
4/4, I declare fair use the winner
But this list of conditions is irrelevant, as it is preceded in the copyright act by: "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research".
Which one of these purposes applies to this case?
No court has ever held that to be an exclusive list.
