2. What social bargain is at the heart of Fair use?
Answer: The social bargain is for the public's gain, not so much the producer's gain. We, as a society, encourage the creator to create new material, but give them limited protection once the information is out there. We want them to give it to us, so that we can have "new culture." Yet, this also allows for other "creators" to take that work and build on it. That's the bargain.
"The bargain is this: we as a society give limited property rights to creators to encourage them to produce culture; at the same time, we give other creators the chance to use that same copyrighted material, without permission or payment, in some circumstances."

Answer: The principles are all subject to a “rule of proportionality.” "Educators’ and students’ fair use rights extend to the portions of copyrighted works that they need to accomplish their educational goals—and sometimes even to small or short works in their entirety. By the same token, the fairness of a use depends, in part, on whether the user took more than was needed to accomplish his or her legitimate purpose. That said, there are no numerical rules of thumb that can be relied upon in making this determination."
