No.

If that were true, I could take a band that I hate, copy all of their music note-for-note, then release an exact copy on the market and undercut them by selling their entire discography for $0.01

Fair Use requires one of several enumerated activities, including satire, education, journalism. You can’t just copy content and hope that it passes Fair Use.

Hire a lawyer if you are unsure. But at least read the Wikipedia article on the subject if you are going to talk about it.
