[edit] Fair use in Neal Cassady

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

It illustrates an educational article about the author of the book, Neal Cassady, for which the book itself is also a significant topic.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of The First Third within that article.
The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book.
It is a low resolution image.
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
The image is also used as the primary means of visual identification of Neal Cassady, for which purpose it cannot be replaced because Cassady has been deceased since 1968. A freely licensed image of Cassady therefore cannot be created.
The image is historically significant in that it depicts Cassady with his friend and fellow author, Jack Kerouac, and is the image chosen as the cover of Cassady's published autobiography.

Note: The image on the book cover is copyright of the photographer, Carolyn Cassady, and may not be used in any other form without express permission of the copyright holder.

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.
