Fair Use Rationale for Manga Life[edit]

This image falls under fair use because:

1. The image depicts the cover the magazine discussed in the article.
2. The image illustrates an educational article about the magazine that the image represents.
3. The image is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
4. The image is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media
5. The image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value, nor could one be created.
6. The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the image.
