    the reason attribution is important in determining fair use is when considering whether or not the use of the copyrighted material is either transformative and/or added value, whether or not it is a benefit. It could be argued that the blog is context enough to create a commentary, like design of the day type of thing, but without attribution I would argue that this is in fact degrading the value by removing the original artists for all the posts. there is no benefit to posting entire works on a blog without anything added to it and so therefore not fair use.

    Ask Google and they will insist on attribution for using Google Earth if you want to cite fair use.

    • its not absolutely necessary but is definitely a factoruuuuuu
    • again a mention of who made the work adds a lot and therefore much more legit and 'fair'.uuuuuu
