:Fair use is essentially the right to hire a lawyer. As personal photos generally don't get registered at the copyright office, your recompense is limited to a pittance that's not really worth going after. So, to sum up: no, it's not legal, and it probably doesn't fall under fair use, but they'll damn well do what they like.

::You don't have to register copyrights, not in the US. The question as to what you are entitled to is not related to registration. I think they could make a strong fair use claim; a lot of leeway is given to news agencies for purposes of the First Amendment. And I don't think the AP is going to be doing something like that without the input of their (many) lawyers—they have more to lose than the sort of causal copyright violation that people usually engage in. --[[Special:Contributions/98.217.18.109|98.217.18.109]] ([[User talk:98.217.18.109|talk]]) 21:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
