It doesn't seem doubtful to me. See Kelley v.
ArribaSoft on thumbnails:

Right, they're thumbnails. I forgot. I should have looked the discussion up!
And also: "On the other hand, in Nunez v.
Caribbean International News
Corp.,*fn22 the First Circuit found that copying a photograph that was
intended to be used in a modeling portfolio and using it instead in a
news article was a transformative use."
I didn't know about this!
So how come changing purpose from «indoctrinating people»
to «informing the public about an organisation»
isn't transformative enough for Co$'s lawyers? -_^
