  • This statement is demonstrably false: The article says

    Home $weet Home: cover of the June 13, 2005 issue of Time Magazine[1] illustrating the mania[2] for homebuying. The appearance of this cover was taken as a sign of the bubble's peak.[3]

    This image is used to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question, in that the appearance of this widely read magazine cover illustrates the mania for homes in the U.S. in 2005, which is covered in that article. The appearance of this cover was taken as a sign of the bubble's peak. The use of this magazine cover to illustrate the mania for homes in 2005 and as a sign of the bubble's peak contributes significantly to the article in ways that words cannot, because it illustrates the abstract notion of mania in the very magazine cover that was taken to show the peak of that mania. Therefore, the use of this magazine cover qualifies as fair use.
