If she used the fair use test, she would see that the first
of the four factors asks whether the work is for nonprofit educational
purposes or commercial purposes. The answer to this question affects the
evaluation of the other three factors. Sometimes a use that is fair in a
nonprofit educational context is not fair in a for-profit commercial
context. That's the nature of the test - change the facts and the results
change, sometimes dramatically.
Most publishers limit their reliance on fair use to narrow circumstances
such as using short quotations in works of commentary and criticism.
