[edit] Fair use in RKO Pictures

The image linked here is claimed by Wikipedia editor DCGeist to be used under fair use as:

it is a logo that identifies a historically significant film studio;
it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality);
as the value of the image is in the particular unique appearance which is copyrighted, no free alternative can be made;
it is being used only for informational purposes; and
its inclusion adds significantly to the article because it illustrates the famous logo of the studio during its classic era and supports a discussion of the logo's fame.
