Fair use within Elio Ciol[edit]

This image, Ciol-italia-bw.jpg, is being linked from Elio Ciol; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Hoary) think it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
2. it does not in any way limit the rights or impede the efforts of the copyright owners to claim ownership of or derive income from the book or incorporated photograph;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork in any saleable form.

The image is significant in the article because it incorporates a photo by Ciol that characteristically uses infrared-sensitive BW film for a landscape. -- Hoary 03:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
