Summary
[edit | edit source]
This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers
- to illustrate an article discussing the book in question
- on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
Fair use rationale for The Cosmic Serpent
[edit | edit source]
Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
- The image is only a small portion of the overall product and serves as an easily identifiable part of a larger entity.
- The copy of the image is low-resolution and will not produce high-quality copies of the art for illegal duplication. The quality is high enough to clearly present the image and to place the subject represented by the image in a good light.
- The use of the image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to gain commercially from the work.
- It illustrates educational articles about the subject represented by the image.
- The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article.
- It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value. A free image could not be created to replace it without itself being a derivative work.
