As I read Kinko's 
(http://fairuse.stanford.edu/primary/cases/c758FSupp1522.html), this is not 
necessarily true:

"The use of the Kinko's packets, in the hands of the students, was no doubt 
educational. However, the use in the hands of Kinko's employees is 
commercial. Kinko's claims that its copying was educational and, therefore, 
qualifies as a fair use. Kinko's fails to persuade us of this distinction."
