Jeff, I have to say I am surprised to see you of all

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.
