While I doubt that specific case has been tested in court, arguably you could. If you created glitch art (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_art) via compression artifacts, and your work was sufficiently distinct from the original work, I think you would have a reasonable case for transformative use (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformative_use).
