we want more free material, and the only way to get it is to delete the
fair use stuff whenever possible. Realism doesn't come into play (I know
I can't get a free picture of the indie rock chick who's dove out of the
public eye to become a mother, but she's alive and I ''could'' get a
picture), but rather directing the desires of those who do the image
stuff.
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*.
