"The unauthorized use of copyrighted photographs has been allowed under the fair use provision when the images contributed to the public's understanding of important issues or events. Sketches based upon the copyrighted photographs of President John Kennedy's assassination, for example, were held to be a fair use of the original images because of the public's interest in the event. The publication of a copyrighted photograph of John Belushi in a book about his death was also a fair use of an image because it helped to promote "free expression and robust debate" on the story."
I don't know what that guys site is about, but I thought I'd toss this on the fire.
