Fair use true

Fair use rationale for Sonatas and Interludes[edit]

It is believed that this image is subject to fair use in the article Works for prepared piano by John Cage because:

1. This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, meaning it shows the reader part of the exact preparation for Sonatas and Interludes.
2. Furthermore it provides a visual illustration of specific techniques or performance details whose description is aided by visual demonstration, and could not be as easily described purely in a text manner.
3. It is a low quality image, and copies made from it will be of inferior quality compared to the original.
4. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
5. The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
6. No free or public domain images have been located for this item.
7. The author of the original video gave his permission to use the screenshot.
