Not "I will ask them now", not "I think they would be happy", but "Do you have permission before you used it?".
I think we all know the answer.
Any picture you do not have a license for needs to be removed. Anything you are using only in what you think is "fair use" needs to go... public domain is a joke started by theives. Start from there. Then remove any model that you cannot prove the age of at the time the picture was taken (see USC 18 section 2256 and 2257 for the legal requirements).
Keep going from there... soon you will have nothing on your site.

No, fair use actually wasn't something started by thieves. It's actually a part of free speech that helps protect us. If you are interested, please read at:

There is a large difference between public domain and fair use by the way. But you make some good points anyway.
thanks,
