Fair use[edit]

Fair Use for Russell Patterson:

I have scanned the page of this copyrighted book, and may show it here under the US fair use laws, because:

• The image illustrates the very type art by the artist to which the article refers that made him notable, from the time his fame was established,substantially improving the educational value of the article. It is the thing itself, the work of the man, a commercial artist.

• The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article section's topic.

• The image is of much lower resolution than the original, and the cover only is shown. Any potential copies made from it would be of very inferior quality and unsuitable for any commercial purpose.

• The image is not used here for profit, and its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder, Fantagraphics Books, and such use here does not decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.

• It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the artwork referenced in the article, because the whole body of work under discussion in this section of the article is © Russell Patterson, or the publishers of his work.

Licensing[edit]

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of magazine covers to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Note: If the image depicts a person or persons on the cover, it is not acceptable to use the image in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image. Use of the image merely to depict a person or persons in the image will be removed. Fair use true
