Fair use cases tend to produce narrowly-written law because the outcomes hinge on how the court judges the facts against the list of factors codified in the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. section 107). The courts don't really have breathing room to use a different test. I don't recall any cases in which the courts have set binding guidelines for interpretation of these factors.
