[edit] Fair use for Karen McDougal

This cover represents a significant achievement in McDougal's career as a professional model, in fact arguably her most notable career achievement, Playmate of the Year.
It's not reproducible - she was only Playmate of the Year once, and only this Playboy cover is dedicated to that event.
The image is at a lower resolution than the original and uses an inferior graphics format (JPEG). Any copies made of this image will also be inferior to the original.
It is not believed that use of this photo will infringe on the owner's, Playboy's, rights to resell the magazine.
The image is being used only in the biographical article of its subject, for educational and informational purposes.

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.

Use of the image merely to depict a person or persons in the image will be removed.
