The post using these images is one of the best examples of fair use I
could hope for. The person goes, in detail, to describe and criticize
your products and handling of third party intellectual property in a way
that is both fair and would absolutely require the images to make his point.
I believe in good faith the articles in contention are used fairly. Send
servicing to this address.
