OK. Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, 510 U.S. 569 (1994). What does
this case tell us: 1.) Fair use is determined on a case-by-case
basis, as there are no bright-line rules; 2.) Fair use is an
affirmative defense (meaning that the onus is on the *defendant* to
prove fair use, once the plaintiff has established a prima facie case
of infringement)
