No robber. Were it not for him, tarot might not have taken off in the way that it did after he republished the 1JJ. I think he is wrong about the copyright thing - but he's no robber baron. And I'd hate it to show up on bog roll and underwear.If you use a version that was colored by US Games that robber baron Stuart Kaplan will come after you.
That said - yes, many of the books DID pay, Michael, though obviously I can't vouch for all of them. tarotbear can tell you all about that - he found an alternative when he republished, as he couldn't afford to pay their fees again.
Fair use is under 10% or something. I don't know the detail... But if you need RWS imagery - PM me; I can offer a suggestion...
