[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free book cover - for Among the Brave
Description	This is the front book cover art for the book Among the Brave by the author(s) Margaret Peterson Haddix. The book cover art copyright is believed to belong to the publisher, Simon & Schuster or the cover artist, Cliff Nielsen.
Source	It is believed that the cover art can or could be obtained from Simon & Schuster.
Article	Among the Brave
Portion used	The entire front cover. Because the image is a book cover, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original book cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the book cover creator's ability to provide book cover design services and in turn marketing books to the public.
Replaceable?	As a book cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the book cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

Book cover

[edit] Fair use

This image, Brave.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (TheBlueFlamingo) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because the use of a single cover "to illustrate an article discussing the book in question" is allowed.

It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
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.
The image of this book cover is being used in an informative way in the context of a critical and historical discussion of the book's writing and influence, and should not detract from the original work.
No free or public domain images have been located.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. 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 United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.
