Question: If “fair use” includes “news reporting,” does that mean I must be reporting on the image itself – or can I use the image to illustrate a news story on some other topic? For example, if a photojournalist snaps a picture of, say, Bernie Sanders for the NYT – and I grab the image off of the Internet and use it for my own story on Bernie, would that constitute “fair use?” It is news reporting… But I don’t think I can use the image. 2nd Question: If I heavily modify an image, turning it into a cartoon or a caricature, is that derivative work “fair use?” One could detect the source image in the transformed work, but wouldn’t the transformation be a form of satire and therefore permitted under “fair use?”
Do I Just Comment on the image directly?
