In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include -
· (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
· (2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
· (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;
and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
