Fair use for Gala Galaction[edit]

This image, picture-fair-use.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Dahn) feel 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 limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the book in any way;
3. the illustration itself does not appear to contain original art (if any, it is not credited on the inner cover);
4. the book publisher is no longer in business (and the business was probably closed down ca. 1945 or earlier).

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.
