Fair use[edit]

It is believed that this image, Monster Times.jpe.jpg, is subject to fair use in the article Monster Times because:

1. This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, which describes the magazine in question and its publication history.
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
4. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.-Hal Raglan 21:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
