There is no predetermined amount of copyrighted material that can be used before it is considered a violation. Each case is judged by the planned use & it's purpose.
US Copyright Law sets out criteria that has to be considered before something can be determined to be "fair use"
# The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes # The nature of the copyrighted work # The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole # The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work
