Why do some of the avatars here state "Avatar Removed Due to Legal Threat From Fox"? [View All]

[Ignacio Upton]

I was looking at different avatars to consider a change (I decided that having the chimp giving the finger is still appropriate) and I noticed that several of them state that the original versions were removed due to legal threats from Fox. If they were accusing DU of copyright infringememt (which is stupid, considering that DU doesn't profit off of showing pictures of Sean Hannity or Homer Simpson) this case doesn't show it. It looks more like Fair Use. Why is it that Murdoch hasn't fired on YouTube yet, or even sent similar takedown notices for their stuff, whereas DU is a somewhat-unknown website? Then again, Fox did try to sue the "Faux News" t-shirt maker for trademark infringement, and also targeted AL Franken for using "Fair and Balanced" in his title.
