[edit] Summary

[edit] Licensing

Erfworld is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial ShareAlike License v. 3.0 (cc-by-nc-sa-3.0).

The Noncommercial nature of the license means that for the purposes of Wikipedia, this image is considered non-free, and so requires a Fair Use rationale for each appearance in an article in order to remain on the site.

This image is from a comic strip, webcomic or from the cover or interior of a comic book. The copyright for this image is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic or the writer(s) and/or artist(s) which produced the comic in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of the cover of a comic book 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; or the use of low-resolution images of a single panel from a comic strip or an interior page of a comic book to illustrate: the scene or storyline depicted, or the copyrighted character(s) or group(s) depicted on the excerpted panel 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, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/copyright for more information. To the uploader: please add a fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

[edit] Fair Use rationale for Erfworld

• It is believed that the use of a single comic panel on the English-language Wikipedia to illustrate an article on the comic in question falls under the "Non-profit educational" clause of the Fair Use doctrine currently upheld by United States law. (17 U.S.C. § 107)
• The image is irreplaceable; a free analogue is impossible to produce as the original will be covered by copyright for the foreseeable future. The owners of the copyright have demonstrated no interest in providing a commercially distributable version.
• Owing to the single-panel nature of the image, only a small portion of the copyrighted work (a multi-page graphic novel) is used.
• The limited web-resolution of the image means that portion of the copyrighted work used to illustrate the article is of inherently lower quality than the original, reducing the risk of competitiveness and therefore the mitigating the potential effects of this copy on the market for or value of versions held by the owner of the copyright.
