   This is eimply false. Here is what the title says:   
   "In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case   
   is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—"   
   and then the four factors.   
      
   All these factors are gradient factors; the court does a balancing   
   exercise and decides, on the facts of each particular case, whether   
   the use is fair or not.   
   Libraries in the US generally work on the basis that a student can   
   safely copy up to 10% of a given book for educational use.   
      
   This is all explained for non-lawyers here:
