This is the situation I'm getting concerned about here. I don't really
care about the specific image or its subject myself, I stumbled into
this completely by chance, but I am a little disturbed by how much
careful and detailed work went into justifying its inclusion only to be
trumped with completely unsupported "the artist doesn't like it" and
"the Foundation lawyer doesn't like it" assertions. How am I supposed to
know what's valid fair use under these circumstances?
