[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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for The Rats (novel)

Although this image is subject to copyright, I, User:Sue Wallace, believe its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws for the book article mentioned above because:

1. It is used in an article about the book The Rats
2. The image is used in the article's infobox
3. It is a low resolution image
4. The low resolution of the image makes it unsuitable for illegal purposes such as piracy
5. The entire image is used
6. The article describes the book in-depth and the subject matter shown in the image
7. It's inclusion is for information purposes and adds to the readers overall critical analysis of the book and the article
8. The image copyright is owned by New English Library.
9. It's inclusion here makes no claims of copyright ownership.
10. Image was sourced from http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n0/n608.jpg
11. The creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publishing company, claimed as fair use regardless.
12. No copyright free image of the book exists (any would be a derivative and would still be subject to copyright).
13. This image is already widely distributed to identify the book as part of reviews and catalogs so I believe I do not degrade any market value by providing it here for critical and educational purposes .
