Google "Richard Prince copyright". This is not a new issue, not even close.

BTW... She is using a still[0] from a video that CNN owns the copyright to, and section 3 of their tos[1] explicitly forbids doing what she is doing - with the unnecessarily stated exception "as otherwise expressly permitted under copyright law". You really want to take that exception away from her? I can pretty easily argue that her use is transformative, can you? How does this differ from what she is complaining about?

How is the use of that photo transformative in anyway? Did she add to it? Is the piece about criticizing the photo (which would be transformative) or is she using it as part of an opinion news piece (which isn't)?

And btw, the Prince case is illustrative because the judge ruled that some of his pieces were transformative, but others were not, walking that gray line.
