[edit] Fair use in Hardboiled

Though subject to copyright, the image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

1. it is the cover of the original edition of a historically significant novel by a historically significant author (copyright records indicate that the cover of this original edition as well as the text of the novel was under the author's copyright);
2. it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality);
3. its use does not infringe on the ability of the copyright holder to sell or promote the novel or image in any way;
4. it is being used only for informational purposes; and
5. its inclusion in hardboiled adds significantly to the article because it illustrates one of the most famous and seminal examples of the hardboiled novel, by one of the genre's most influential authors, as discussed in the accompanying text.

[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.
