[edit] Fair use for Ultimate X-Men (story arcs)

This image, Ultimate xmen cover 002.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Peregrine Fisher Talk) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. No free alternative can exist given, the likeness of the Ultimate X-Men is a trademark and thus protected;
2. It is a low resolution copy of a comic book cover;
3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic book in any way;
4. Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book cover art on another comic book;
5. The image is significant; it is the cover to Ultimate X-Men #2 which is the first issue to feature the Ultimate X-Men on the cover. Note: issue #1 would have been used, but it only shows Wolverine.
6. The issue in question is discussed within the article, thus using this image to identify the issue is thought to be fair use;

[edit] Licensing

This image is of the cover of a single issue of a comic book, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic book or the artist(s) which produced the comic book cover in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of covers of individual issues of comic books help

• to illustrate:
  • the issue of the comic book in question;
  • the periodical comic book series of which this issue is a part; or
  • the copyrighted comic book character(s) or group(s) on the cover of the issue in question;
• where no free alternative exists or can be created,
• 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. Any other uses 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.
