See my point #1: the average uploader doesn't care. A summary such as "If the owner of this image doesn't agree that it's fair use, I agree to be sued for copyright infringement" might work. I don't think anything less blunt would get the message across.
Ok, assume some *do* care, can't we come up with some summary like "for fair use, you have to be actually talking about the image itself - not just the subject depicted in the image" or something? IANAL. I have to admit that fair use has always been a bit of a mystery to me as well - particularly in a university context it often gets interpreted as something like "don't take too much, and don't do it too publicly, and you'll be right".
