Solution
The use of copyrighted material that would least likely be regarded as fair use is "Reprinting all of the lyrics from a popular song on a greeting card." This is because it involves using the entire work (all the lyrics of the song) rather than a small excerpt, and it is being used for commercial purposes (to sell greeting cards), rather than for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research, which are generally considered fair use.
