It is asserted that the use of this image in articles pertaining to or in reference to M&T Bank and its associated properties qualifies as fair use for the following reasons:

It is a low-resolution copy of the logo;
It does not affect the market for the original work — this is a logo created to promote a corporation, not a commercial work sold to the public for profit;
By the nature of the image, no free alternative is possible;
The logo is widely identified with M&T Bank via posters, stationary, advertisements etc. and so the inclusion of the logo adds significantly to the articles in which it is used
