[edit] Fair use in Shisei Kuwabara

This image, Kuwabara-minamata.jpg, is being linked from Shisei Kuwabara; though the picture is subject to copyright I believe it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
it does not in any way limit the rights or impede the efforts of the copyright owners to claim ownership of or derive income from the book or incorporated photograph;
copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork in any saleable form.

The image provides visual evidence (at least to those who can read Japanese) for the existence of the book and the set, while the selective focus on the eye (visible even within the tiny version of the image as shown within this article) renders the humanity of the patient. -- Hoary 09:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. 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 United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter.
