[edit] Fair use rationale for Peanuts

This image, First peanuts comic.PNG, 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 copyrighted and also subject to trademark and thus protected;
2. It is a low resolution copy of a comic strip;
3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic strip in any way;
4. Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic strip in another book;
5. The image is significant; it was created by a notable comic strip artist, Charles Schulz. It is the first published Peanuts strip.
6. The article discusses the strip and the art style used in a critical manner and notes the publication of this particular strip, making this image useful in identifying the strip and the early artistic style contained.
