[edit] Summary

Fair use rationale for use of the image in the article on My Fair Lady

The use of the image in the article My Fair Lady qualifies under the fair use doctrine because:

It is a low-resolution image;
Its use will not limit the copyright holder in realizing profits or other opportunities in connection with the image;
It cannot be replaced by an equivalent free image (it is a historic playbill cover of a famous production that closed long ago); and
It is a key visual reference in the article concerning its Broadway production of the musical that is the subject of the article.

[edit] Licensing

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.
