[edit] Summary

Cover of the 1969 paperback edition of True Grit (novel).

Copyright 1969 Signet.

[edit] Rationale of fair use

The use of this image in the article True Grit (novel) is fair use because:

1. It is not practical to convey a visual image about the book without using the book cover, therefore, this is a non-replaceable image.
2. The image is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be inferior).
3. It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
4. The image does not inhibit sales of the book.
5. The image does not impede the licensing of the book.
6. The image does no damage to the image or quality of the book. In fact its use exactly fits the purpose of a book cover, which is promoting the book.
7. The image is used on other websites, such as Amazon, so its use on Wikipedia does not make any more accessible than it already is.

[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.
