[edit] Summary

Copyrighted 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

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] Fair use for Alive: The Final Evolution

Though the picture is subject to copyright I (Fallen Wings) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  • it illustrates an educational article about the manga from which the cover illustration was taken.
  • it is a low resolution copy official artwork.
  • it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the manga/comic in any way.
  • the logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
