Why? In determining “fair use”, the courts look to the “purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature, or for educational purpose.”
Because of the ill-defined, continuum nature of fair use, there is no rule advising how many words you may quote before crossing the border from fair to unfair use.
Another factor is timeliness. If you’ve had 6 months’ lead time, you’ve expected to have had the opportunity to contact the copyright owner whose work you’d like to quote. If your article is due at the printers in two days, however, and you want to add a quoted sentence or two from somebody’s article published this morning, the courts may conclude that your failure to obtain permission for use of the small quote was reasonable.
Dose attributing the quoted portion to the author relive you of liability for copyright infringement? No, but the reverse——omitting the author credit——may well make your copying appear to be intentional plagiarism, so that the equitable defense of fair use won’t apply. Fair is fair. Also, as a practical matter, a quoted author is less likely to feel ripped off it properly credited, and, accordingly, is less likely to sue you.
Fair use dose not automatically prevent an irate author or publisher from suing you and/or your publisher for copyright infringement with respect to the quoted material. It merely permits you a defense——an excuse——to tell the judge if suit is field.
