I don't know what the limit is, but I always understood that there
was a certain length of quote that went over the line into
infringement. I have in my faulty memory 4 measures for popular
songs, but that doesn't seem too practical to me.

As long as we're talking about this, there's a question I've
wondered about for years that maybe someone on this list knows the
answer to:
Is collaging fair usage? Specifically, consider Berio's *Sinfonia*,
which quotes numerous copyrighted works without any notice of
written permission to use any of them.
I'm not talking about outright parody, wh. is definitely fair
usage in the US, but merely the use of recognizable fragments of
copyrighted works in a patchwork to make something new. The various
court cases involving sampling would strongly suggest that such
practices are *not* fair usage--but then how explain the Berio?
