[edit] Summary

Cover of India by Hiroh Kikai, at reduced size. Design ©Misuzu Shobou, incorporating a photograph © Hiroh Kikai. Size deliberately reduced. -- Hoary 09:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Technical note

Looking at the top of the cover as scanned, one might think that something went seriously wrong in the scanning process, or that something is seriously wrong with the scanner. But in fact the title "India" is printed on the dust cover in such a way that it does look as if it is out of focus. -- Hoary 06:04, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use within Hiroh Kikai

This image, Kikai-india.jpg, is being linked from Hiroh Kikai; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Hoary) think 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 in any way limit the rights or impede the efforts of the copyright owners to claim ownership of or derive income from the book or incorporated photograph;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork in any saleable form;
4. it shows a book that is described in the text and is particularly significant within Kikai's career as the first and largest of the three volumes (so far) of his photographs of India. -- Hoary 09:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[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.
