Permission
(Reusing this image)

Fair use of promotional photo to visually identify its subject, Rex Stout. No copyright statement appears on the glossy, which does bear the following text: "Credit: Jill Krementz. Rex Stout, author of A FAMILY AFFAIR. The Viking Press. Sept. 8, 1975. Price: $5.95." Accompanying slip bearing Viking Press logo states "Kindly send us two clippings or notification of broadcast of your review of this book."

[edit] Licensing

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. This is an image created and uploaded for informational purposes only.
  2. The image is an accurately cropped scan of an original black-and-white glossy that was part of a press kit distributed by the publisher, which intended promotional use.
  3. This image is of much lower resolution than the original. It cannot be used for high-resolution printing, and any copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
  4. The photograph's inclusion in the Rex Stout article adds significantly to the article because it illustrates its subject, was taken by a prominent photographer, and was taken in the year of the author's death.
  5. The copyright owner's rights to reproduce the image are not limited in any way.
Non-free / fair use media rationale for Rex Stout
