[edit] Summary

[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:Non-free content for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, 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. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.

[edit] Free Use

Although this image is covered by copyright, I, (AtionSong), believe that it is appropriate for inclusion on Wikipedia to illustrate articles directly pertaining to Blood Beast, with reference to the fact that the image is a book cover. Along with the general rationale above, in these cases it is specifically thought because:

1. The cover of the book is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the book, and does not pose a significant risk of defrauding the publisher (and in fact may encourage the increased legitimate sales of said media).
2. Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the book cover, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy (the re-printing of covers to accompany with pirated books, for example), or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or a poster.
3. There are likely no "free" alternatives for the illustration of said copyrighted media which would not be themselves infringements on copyrights or trademarks. A low-resolution, correctly attributed image of the cover itself, with its copyrighted status clearly indicated, is a better alternative than any other image, for Wikipedia's educational purpose.
