Summary[edit]

This is an Amazon.com image of the most recent (as far as I know) covers for the softback version of Shade's Children. I found it here.

Fair use rationale[edit]

I, Nihiltres, believe that the use of this copyrighted book cover constitutes fair use because:

1. No free equivalent is available -it's a book cover, and an artist's rendition of specific elements of the novel - other covers for this book (also copyrighted) are not equivalent.
2. The use of the image on Wikipedia is completely nonprofit and public.
3. The image contributes significantly to the article, showing a major element (the "Meat Factory") and some creature elements (Myrmidons and Trackers).
4. The image is only a low-resolution copy of the cover.
5. The use of the image will not foreseeably hurt demand for the book or decrease any associated values.

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.
