Rationale of fair use[edit]

The Ace Books article links to this image. Though the picture is originally copyright, I Mike Christie 02:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. No free or public domain images have been located for this book.
2. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the book in any way, and the book is no longer in print in a version with this cover
4. The article discusses the importance of the "Ace Science Fiction Special" series, and uses the image as an illustration of this series of books. Hence the article forms a commentary on the image.
5. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original book in any way.

The And Chaos Died article links to this image. Though the picture is originally copyright, I Mike Christie (talk) 18:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC) feel it is covered by fair use for the reasons given above; in addition:

1. The article discusses the importance of the work "And Chaos Died", and the image illustrates this work. Hence the article forms a commentary on the image.
