Fair use/photographs

good morning,

we are debating the use of photographic images in a student newspaper that were downloaded from the web. it was done without the photographers permission or knowledge -- it was an article on a recent are opening featuring the photographer.

it appears, furthermore, that the site was a private site not public - although the photographer shared the information with the reporter he did tell her that the site was private. a copyright notice is placed at the bottom of the web site.

i would appreciate any thoughts - these will then be shared with the staff of our student newspaper as they continue to debate the topic.

thank you...
