I'm going to comment on this against my better judgement.
First off, the person that took the photo of the Sinclair Benzol (apparently the copyright holder of that photo) didn't want it published.
Secondly, Copyright law aside, its the policy of this site that images of items won't be posted here against the wishes of those that own the items. So in the case of the Sinclair Benzol globe even if copyright wasn't an issue, privacy was.

As for where the Fyre Drop image came from.
It didn't come from this site.

I don't know the particulars of the lawsuit and I don't care to. The courts will decide who is right or wrong. Its easy for us to say what we would or wouldn't do, or what someone else should or shouldn't do. Fact is if we're not the parties in the lawsuit we don't have enough information to make that judgement.

Copyright and trademark infringment are serious issues. A great deal of money is spent on legal fees protecting those images.
