George W. Romney on the cover of TIME magazine

This image is of a magazine cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the magazine or the individual contributors who worked on the cover depicted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of magazine covers

to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question
with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above,

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 for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Note: If the image depicts a person or persons on the cover, it is not acceptable to use the image in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image. Use of the image merely to depict a person or persons in the image will be removed.

[edit] Fair use rationale in the George W. Romney article

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, the image is used under "fair use" because:

It is a historically significant photo of a Time (magazine) cover showing an image of George W. Romney as the head of an automaker.
There is no "free" equivalent of an actual Time (magazine) cover with an image of George W. Romney on it.
This has been previously published.
The name of the photographer/artist is unknown.
It is of lower resolution than the original, so it will not detract from the value of any original image.
The image is only being used for informational purposes.
The material is encyclopedic and otherwise meets general Wikipedia content requirements.
This meets the media-specific policy requirements.
The image is used in at least one article.
The material contributes to the article (George W. Romney) by specifically illustrating the text about this magazine cover.
The image does not detract from the reputation of the subject.

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "George W. Romney" :

To illustrate the subject in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]),

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:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.
