Claiming fair use on a non copyright image strikes me as a tricky
concept and one that is rather pointless in any case. Fair use images
are copyvios. At best they are just copyvios that are allowed within
the US. They are still however copyvios. If they were not you would
not bother trying to claim fair use.
You may be surprised to read where the copyright law says that fair use
is not an infringement of copyright.
There may be disputes over just what fair use is, but that's a
different, and very much fact driven matter.
