[edit] Summary

Front cover of book [1], fair use copyright clause, see [2] for example of use.

[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.

For author's signed free book licence agreement, please see page 2 of the book for the copyright agreement specifying that the book may be freely reproduced: http://www.athenalab.com/Confessions_Sam_Cohen_2006_Third_Edition.pdf

The license is non-derivative, so it is still non-free with regard to GFDL.

Note that there is a stipulation on page 2 therein, that the book is only freely licenced to be reproduced if it is reproduced in full, but this article links to the full book. If there is further doubt about this image being used, an enquiry can be directed to the owner of http://www.athenalab.com which hosts Sam Cohen's free book download. That site by Conrad Schneiker [which includes the copyright licence clause at the bottom of the page: "You may reuse anything here, so long as you give appropriate credit, including a link back to (www.AthenaLab.com)"] states:

"This [Sam Cohen's Shame] is the controversial and myth-shattering book on national security that was turned down by every conventional publisher and agent that I contacted (despite Sam's previously successfully published books). [(PDF) (about 1.1 MB).] The second (now third) edition explicitly gives you permission to put it on your web site, or to print and sell full and unaltered copies of it, among other options. ... Some publishing history: I converted the raw manuscript file (produced by Sam’s daughter) into standard book format, did the subsequent technical editing work, created the index, and made arrangements for print-on-demand publishing. (Please don't hold my amateur efforts against Sam.) The printed version of this book has now been available for many years, but soon after a (non-exclusive) publishing agreement was made, the greedy publisher quickly and drastically raised prices way above what many people were willing to pay. At the same time, to drive sales through their own web site, they reportedly lowered standard discounts to other outlets, so Amazon.com dropped Shame. Moreover, Amazon.com only showed the earlier planned World Scientific version of Shame (which the publisher inexplicably cancelled, while I was in the midst of making initially-requested editorial changes), which of course was marked as unavailable. At long last, years later, Amazon.com now carries Shame again. To their credit, BarnesAndNoble.com has carried it for the duration. In any case, with Sam's permission, I've put the new third edition of Shame online."
