[edit] Rationale of fair use

Copyrighted It is believed to be unlikely that an alternate free licensed work currently exists or can be created.

The Ace Books article links to this image. Though the picture is originally copyright, I Mike Christie 01:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC) feel it is covered by fair use because:

  1. No free or public domain images have been located for this album.
  2. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
  3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the book in any way, and the book is no longer in print in a version with this cover
  4. The article discusses the early use of science fiction works by Ace Books and discusses elements of the cover design, including the "Complete and Unabridged" notice. Hence the article forms a commentary on the image.
  5. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original book in any way.
