It is not a violation of the fair use law. If it were, basically every professor I had in college would be liable for copyright violation. Think of the money that these companies could get by just intimidating the entire educational establishment. And why don't these companies do it, when there is such money on the table? Because the law does not support their case.
Companies can go after all kinds of organizations or people that frighten off at the sound of the word "lawsuit", but they stop at the fence when there's a legal department in that organization. Because they know, the law does not support their position. They are simply using intimidation for their own purposes. That's the difference between Law and Corporate practices in the field.
