Jeff, I have to say I am surprised to see you of all people making this argument. You seem to me to be thoroughly committed to the ideal of free-as-in-speech content, which is precisely what fair use images are *not*.
You'll notice I'm not advocating ignoring the rule. d;-)
I guess I'm in a minority (surprise surprise) regarding how to get to the free content. As fair use has minimal chance for harm, and no one's told me that I'm way off base in terms of possible legal ramifications, I see no need to make our free-as-in-speech content less useful because we're quibbling over whether it's possible to get a picture of the still-living J. D. Salinger.
