[edit] Summary

The final print issue of Datamation.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Datamation
Description	Magazine cover of Datamation, final print issue.
Source	Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the magazine cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publisher or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	Datamation
Portion used	Cover only, a small portion of the magazine.
Low resolution?	Yes.
Purpose of use	The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the magazine). It illustrates educational articles about the magazine from which the cover illustration was taken.
Replaceable?	There is no free equivalent of this magazine cover, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
Other information	The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the magazine.

Fair use depicting the final print edition of this venerable trade publication.
