[edit] Summary

[edit] Fair use for Chain of Pearls

Though the picture is subject to copyright I (Ninja Neko) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution copy of a manga cover.
it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the manga series in any way.
it provides visual identification of the characters of the series.
it provides visual identification of the art style of this series.
there is no free alternative depicting these characters.
