Humane Earth doesn't make "fair use"
On websites such as Wikipedia, people add things that are copyrighted. Most of the time, they don't have permission. They say it is "fair use." Often, they are not right about this.
Humane Earth is not about how the world is but about how it should be. For this reason, "fair use" can never be used here.
