[edit] Summary

Cover of book "Shakey and Me" ISBN 0-9676575-2-0.

[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.

The use of this partial book cover in the article about its subject Sherwood Johnson is fair use. Only part of the cover is being used. This is less than one page of a book of hundreds of pages. Not only does this image not compete with the copyright owner's product, to some extent it even acts as an advertisement for the copyright owner's product, as all book covers do. The resolution is greatly less than the original. The most salient part of the cover is the black and white photo of the subject. This photo was taken in an era when photographs were not automatically copyrighted as they are under the Copyright Act of 1976, and a search of copyright.gov turned up no evidence that this photo was copyrighted upon its taking circa 1954 and then duly renewed circa 1982. No known free images of the subject exist.Bellczar (talk) 19:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
