[edit] Fair use for List of fantasy novels
This image, The dying earth by jack vance.jpg , is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (MamaGeek (Talk/Contrib)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
- it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
- it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the book in any way; this version of the book is out of print
- copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the cover artwork on another book;
