[edit] Summary

This image was scanned by the uploader from the back of a R.A.T.S. toy package. It is a promotional photograph that displays all the articles in the toy line.

Although this is still under copyright, inclusion here qualifies for Fair Use under US Copyright law because:

- It is used for a non-commercial and educational purpose.

- It is representative of the work (it displays the toyline in near total)

- It is only a small part of the overall work (the image does not display the entire box or even the entire side of the box, nor is it specific to any one particular item in the line)

- It will not devalue the commercial viability of the copyright. (the toy line has been defunct since 1985; nevertheless, this image advertises the line, it does not detract from it)
