I don't think fair use is applicable here - fair use is something that is mostly used by educators in handing out photocopies of articles or using a movie for class room viewing - and educational and limited purpose.
This is all an issue of licensing and not copying - no copyright is being violated because they aren't copying things and then selling the copies. They are merely transferring, providing a service and giving you the copy, in hopes that you don't make further copies at home. And that is the answer straight from the lawyers mouth
