Seems like anybody who would go to the trouble of copyrighting that image would do so for the purpose of reproducing and selling the shirt in question. It would therefore make no sense to nuke a source of free marketing.
That e-mail might have just come from some cleaver beaker fan who has an ax to grind with the occupants of 2813 NW Kingsridge Drive.

There was no proof provided, and Bob Dole didn't ask. Unfortunately, Bob Dole didn't catch the email until this evening, so there wasn't really any time to determine whether it was legit before the scary deadline that might expose...um...well, AOL Sports to litigation.
You know, since that's where the photograph was hosted, and there's been no revenue generated here from the posting of the image. But then again, Bob Dole isn't a lawyer and has no real experience with copyright claims on the web.
