[edit] Fair use rationale for Peanuts

This image, Completepeanutsvol15052.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Hiding Talk) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the characters depicted are subject to copyright, trademark and intellectual property laws and thus protected;
2. It is a low resolution copy of a comic strip collection cover;
3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the collection in any way;
4. The cover art was released to the media via a press release to publicise the series;
5. Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the cover art on another collection;
6. The image is significant; it is the first in a series of collections. The collections are the first such collections to compile the Peanut comic strips in entirety;
7. The collections of the work demonstrate the lasting appeal of the strip, and these collections in particular are discussed in context within the article;
8. The image illustrates the publication format of the series as a whole as well as identifying the actual volume and the general fact that Peanuts strips are subject to a wide and varied compilation.

[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.
