Fair use for Starship Troopers[edit]

This image, StarshipSoldier.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Palm_Dogg) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the magazine in any way;
2. Its inclusion adds significantly to the article, by illustrating how different individuals have visualized Starship Troopers.
3. It confirms statements made in the article about the original title of Starship Troopers.
4. The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction has been released for public purposes. Therefore, this cover is intended for wide distribution.
5. The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the magazine.
