The Purdue Excrement

Well, I got this from the from the Purdue Exponent:

Mr. DeBoer: 

It has come to my attention that your blog entry:http://congressshallmakenolaw.blogspot.com/2012/03/not-all-stories-have-two-sides.html
uses a copyrighted photo lifted from the Exponent website.
You did not receive permission from us to use that photo. Accordingly, you are hereby notified to remove it from your blog immediately because it is copyrighted material.
Thank you for your consideration.

My use of the imagine is for non-profit, critical work, which is factual, published, the Imagine has not been manipulated and most importantly there is no monetary gain to be had. I have just spent an hour reading case law and other materials on internet images and fair use claims. I see nothing that would negate my claim, and if the law were clearer in terms of my monitory liability I would stand my ground. That, and I highly doubt the Purdue Exponent has the legal resources to send its censors at every critical blog.

So, with all that being said, I think will replace the imagine with a dude holding up a picture of the actual paper.

May I note the irony of a blog lampooning congressional authority to regulate speech being hit this sort of clearly speech regulating notification.
