Rationale for fair use in The Log from the Sea of Cortez
It is believed that the use of the image Sea-of-cortez-cover.jpg in the article The Log from the Sea of Cortez qualifies as fair use because:
 * 1) No free alternative exists or could be created.
 * 2) It is use purely to illustrate the subject discussed.
 * 3) It is of a promotional nature.
 * 4) It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
 * 5) It does not limit the rights of the copyright owner to market or sell the work in any way.
 * 6) This image is used on various websites without accreditation, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
 * 7) The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
