Question from an Aussie: Does this qualify as 'fair use' in US law? I'm in the process of writing some educational non-fiction books related to men's style and fashion. The books are image-heavy, and I'd like to get a rough idea of the legality of using other peoples' images in them. For reference, they'll be sold on Amazon.com. Whenever I use an image in the book, it's solely for demonstration of certain concepts. For instance, the current draft uses [this image of Zach Galifianakis](http://images.zap2it.com/images/celeb-274002/zach-galifianakis-1.jpg) to discuss beards and how they can be used to add shape and structure to a man's face. I'm wondering whether this type of use would qualify as fair use, as defined here: http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html specifically (emphasis mine): >The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use: “quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment;** quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations;** use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; **reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson**; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported.” The information found on the [Stanford Law website](http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter9/9-b.html) seems to support this kind of use, as it adds new insight/new information to the photos, rather than simply reproducing them verbatim.
