The use of a portion of a single photograph that was previously published on numerous websites, for the purpose of commentary and satire, constitutes fair use."Allegedly Hilton claims he "immediately removed" the photo as soon as he learned that it was stolen.

Good. It's not the first time this blogger has been to court. Paris Hilton is his fag hag and the guy has zero class.

He constantly is putting crap on his site about celebrity, but fails to post anything negative about Paris.

I hope the guy loses his shirt.
