[edit] Fair Use Justification

The photograph of Sparty in Bronze qualifies under fair-use doctrine because it is an original work of art created in 1945 by the school's art director, is owned by the school (a land grant university), and is an important part of representing Michigan State University, its campus, and illustrating the statue itself.
