Fair Use Info

What is Fair Use:

Fair use is a legal exception to the exclusive rights an owner has for his or her copyrighted work

It governs the use of pictures (and content)  found on the internets (as well as other places).  Running afoul of it will cause a person to get a cease and desist notice due to the The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).  (Or sued, or worse.)
