A whole new debate about copyright is around the corner.

  Surely this comes under fair use because of modification?

    Yeah, it's hard to think of how this could not be an example of transformative use but I'm sure I'm not legally creative enough to assert that: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/four-factors/#the_transformative_factor_the_purpose_and_character_of_your_use http://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/four-factors/#... In a 1994 case, the Supreme Court emphasized this first factor as being a primary indicator of fair use. At issue is whether the material has been used to help create something new or merely copied verbatim into another work. When taking portions of copyrighted work, ask yourself the following questions: Has the material you have taken from the original work been transformed by adding new expression or meaning? Was value added to the original by creating new information, new aesthetics, new insights, and understandings?

    I see this as similar to colorizing a black and white movie, so maybe not.
