No, it might very well be fair use. Has the copyright owner
complained? If the owner doesn't complain, then why should you?

Whether a copyright owner complains or not has nothing to do with whether a
copyright holder objects. Obviously, a copyright holder would not place a
copyright notice on an article if the intent were to put it in the public
domain.
