Better still, *within* a category like "NBA players," randomize at the level
of the individual page. I think this sounds like a great idea; let me know
off-line if I can help.

Ray,
if you want to have a little experiment, NBA players might be a good
playingfield. But as in medicine, you should have a check group. Take a
similar sized group, make a list of the persons with fair use images, and
at
the end of the experiment, see which group has more free images added to
them.
i wish you health and happiness,

More or less. My point is that we don't *need* fair use images, and in
this
particular instance, a fair use image would have
prevented us from
obtaining a
free one.
So let's try a controlled experiment. Remove all non-free and fair use
images of current NBA players, and measure the rate at which free
pictures are added. If the experiment fails there should be no
technical difficulty in restoring the fair use images.
