fair use is a US trade lawand copyrights have limitations and exemptions under that. There is no real legal thing called 'fair use' However placing images on the internet without establishing intellectual property rights could be deemed as releasing them into the public domain.

Semantics.There is a well-established and workable definition of fair use in most media in the US. Granted it is open to interpretation, but my personal use of images falls easily within the accepted definition.
