Fair use also says how you can use your purchased content as well.

Slight tangent, but I don't see how Fair Use is restricted to purchased items. I double checked the four tests of section 107 and none of them indicate ownership of a copy is required.

I believe a book reviewer can quote lines for a review without owning a copy of the book, for instance.
Is there something I'm missing?
