Really? If that's the case, then Mike needs to step in and tell us. If our use of images is actually illegal (or, could reasonably be considered illegal - I don't think fair use is sufficiently well defined to be sure until a judge makes a decision), then all our debate is meaningless and we just have to do what the law requires.
