[edit] Summary

Found at: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0195046528.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg at Amazon.com. It is the picture of the book cover of the Oxford dictionary of Byzantium. It is necessary because it depicts the subject of the article Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium. It is also of very low resolution. Copies made will be of very inferior quality.

[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

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium
Description	This image is being used to illustrate the article Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium and is used for informational or educational purposes only.
Source	Derived from a scan of the book cover (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 company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium
Portion used	Entire cover
Low resolution?	Is low and only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy.
Purpose of use	Illustrates the article Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium which provides enough critical commentary for fair use to be applicable.
Replaceable?	No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork)
Other information	Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.
