Extremely useful one. The quality of the average fair use rational for
a pic on a living person bio is basically crap and since there is
almost never any criticism or comment on the actual picture in the
article the odds of building a worthwhile fair use case are basically
zlich. Thus technicaly they could be nailed under EDP section 10)C but
since that would involve trying to teach your average internet user
about fair use law it is far less effort all round to zap them under
EDP section 1)
