No one will ever be able to take her place. Mariah is so sexy I love her to death. She does too.

Under fair use, we have to look at the fourth factor: market harm. I don’t think facebook users who upload these celebrity photos have the intention to make money off of them. One can even argue that the intention to use those photos are to comment on them, almost like a parody.

If it’s up to the point that people can’t use someone else’s picture of a celebrity to have some fun with it, I don’t know what will happen. I guess everyone who owns a copyright should sue on a mass basis. Copyright infringement laws need to be looked at more closely and modified.

I wouldn’t say thinly drawn so much as I would say X17 probably doesn’t really care if a handful of people are using their images for a couple of weeks… whereas in the case of Perez Hilton, he’s a more well known figure in addition to the fact that his use is more like X17’s use.

From a quick glance at that site, it seems like X17 operates along the lines of a gossip blog (which is what Perez’s site is). In the first factor of fair use alone, I’d say using an image for the doppelganger game (for lack of a better term) is quite different from Perez’s use (Perez is actually a competitor of X17 in some ways).

Wow even I participated in that Doppleganger week, just for shits and giggles, but I didn’t even think that something so innocent and playful could possibly be infringing. Personally I think that this notion is just dumb, I could see if being infringing if someone was legitimately posing to be a celebrity, taking fan sites to a new level. Something like that I could see being infringing because it claiming to be a person you are not. If Facebook did not receive any complaints from celebrity agents, then that proves it is not a serious matter.
