My question may seem pretty basic, but please bear with me. I'm a law student in Michigan, and for a class paper, I'm studying the use of photos on "unauthorized" web sites.
In particular, my question is this. Fox Network has recently "shut down" many "unauthorized" X-Files web sites for copyright violations. These pages had downloadable pictures, sound clips, and Win 95 Themes from the TV show. None of these pages charged for the materials, and none of them "debased" the materials in any way. Is there a "fair use" exception for web pages like this, or is there any other way (short of paying royalites, fees, etc.) that such a web page administrator may use these copyrighted materials? Any insights would be most appreciated.
