[edit] Summary

[edit] Fair use for Playmen

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It illustrates an educational article about the entity that the image represents; namely it is an iconic issue of the magazine.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
It is of lower resolution than the original, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the image.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value, as all issues of the magazine are similarly copyrighted.
The publisher of the magazine is now defunct.
The photo is only being used for informational purposes.

[edit] Source

The ultimate source is Plamen itself, the intermediate steps, namely who exactly photographed scanned it in, is not crucial for copyright principles, being that they would be reproductions without originality.

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.
