Fair use for Casey Ruggles[edit]

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

1. It representatively illustrates an educational article about a once popular, once widely-appreciated comic strip series of the past; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding it because it is a historical sample of the art and story that are the subject of the article, and depicts matters covered in the critical commentary, including the main character and supporting cast.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification, and/or confirmation of the reader’s memory of the article topic.
3. It is of much lower resolution than and only a minor portion of the original (copies made from it would be of very inferior quality unsuitable for any commercial purpose).
4. It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the article subject, because the whole body of work under discussion would be similarly copyrighted.
