I thought this was particularly interesting:
Third, Zillow cannot leverage its agreements with third parties to assert some kind of ‘super copyright’ that overrides fair use. The original copyright owners could not deny Wagner permission to make fair use of the photographs. See Lenz v. Universal Music Corp., 815 F.3d 1145, 1152 (9th Cir. 2016) (a fair use is not an infringement of copyright). Zillow, which does not even own the relevant copyrights, cannot then assert rights that the original copyright owners could not assert.
If only more platforms, publishers, and creators took this concept to heart.
