[edit] Fair use for Alan Moore

This image, Watchmencharacters.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (DCAnderson) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
  2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the book in any way;
  3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book;
  4. the image on the cover is significant because it is of characters created by Alan Moore;
  5. it is significant to the article about Alan Moore
