Summary[edit]

Fair use for The Eye of the Heron[edit]

This image, The Eye of the Heron by Ursula K. Le Guin.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Random Passer-by) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
2. it is an incomplete copy of a book cover;
3. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the original artwork or book cover design or book in any way;
4. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the original artwork or book cover design or book;
5. the image is only being used for informational purposes.
