Licensing[edit]

This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). 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 the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Fair Use Rationale for the article Understanding Comics[edit]

• The image is used to represent a book, Understanding Comics, by a well-known cartoonist, Scott McCloud
• This image has been used in several websites, and so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
• The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the book
• The image is of low resolution
• The image does not limit the author or publishing company's ability to sell the book
• The only purpose of the image is to help describe the book Understanding Comics and no other purpose

If this rationale is not adequate, please tell me specifically what is wrong with it before moving to delete the file and I will try to improve it. Or feel free to fix it yourself. InnocuousPseudonym 19:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
