[edit] Summary

[edit] Fair use rationale

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a low resolution copy of a logo.
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
The use of the logo will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to sell their products or services.
It illustrates educational articles about the organization represented by the logo.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value. A free image could not be created to replace it without itself being a derivative work.

[edit] Licensing

Non-free / fair use media rationale for KARE
Description	Historical KARE logo
Source	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xuOLn8cjSU
Article	KARE
Portion used	screenshot
Low resolution?	440 × 129 pixels
Purpose of use	historical image for fair use on KARE This image is a low-resolution image of the logo of a television station. This image does not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original source, nor will it dilute the importance or recognition of the logo in connection with its organization. This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone. Use of the logo visually identifies the station's programming and ownership in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.
Replaceable?	Not replaceable; logos are always presumed non-free per WP:LOGO.

This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, of logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Logos.

This tag must have an accompanying fair use rationale which must be unique to the usage of THIS image in each article in which it is used. You must also give the source and copyright information for all fair-use images uploaded.

Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor vice versa.

[edit] Usage

Currently used in the KARE article to illustrate a prior logo of the TV station. Usage of this logo to illustrate the company that used it should be considered fair use.
