Fair Use rationale for Stalin's Ghost[edit]

Though originally copyright, the image MCS-stalinsghost.jpg is believed subject to fair use due to:

• Its use only in said page for encyclopedia purposes;
• it is a low resolution copy of a book's cover image;
• it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the product in any way;
• copies could not be used to make illegal reproductions of this image;
• this image is displayed on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.

Licensing[edit]

This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). 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 the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
