No, the 10% is not a strict limit, it's been, as I understand it, a general guideline courts have often followed. And yes, I'm aware of all four tests. I was addressing Derek's apparent claim that fair use by definition allows wholesale copying of entire works. Yes, there are cases in which it has proved true. But in general, the substantiality test says the more you copy, the less likely it is for the use to be fair.

If Derek wants to claim his hard drive is a classroom, good luck to him.
