Whether something is fair use or not is not determined by a court, but by the definition of what fair use is. A court interprets that definition and the situation, and if their interpretation matches yours you may have a ruling in your favor. But saying "this is fair use" is no more incorrect than saying "this is red". You're interpreting your perception and putting that interpretation into words.

When a court determines that it isn't, you can continue to argue it as much as you like (to deaf ears), and yet you're still liable to the copyright holder. Whether it's "incorrect" or not is then irrelevant. Let's not argue semantics here.
- dkarras 3y ago>But saying "this is fair use" is no more incorrect than saying "this is red" No, they are different. "fair use" is a legal term. It is not like saying "I use it like this, I think it is fair!", the term "fair use" literally is a legal term that means a particular thing in the court of law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use
