[edit] Fair use for Ryoko

Though the picture is subject to copyright I (User:David A) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a low resolution scan of a comic (specifically, artbook) panel;
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the original anime, comic, or any adaptations thereof in any way;
The comic panel is only being used for informational purposes;
It illustrates a character of the manga series in question and aids in commentary on the plot.

This image is an illustration of a character or characters in a comic book, video game, or animated television program or film. The copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher/producer and/or artist(s) producing the work in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of character artwork:

for commentary on the character or characters 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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
