what determines fair use?

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.

having google ads or some such on a blog, whether it's altered or not, will not make your feed scraping fair use, if you're redistributing feeds without permission.
