Fair use rationale for Ziggy (comic strip)
This image, Ziggy-cartoon.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Thief12 (talk) 02:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:


 * 1) No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the character Ziggy is a trademark and thus protected;
 * 2) It is a low resolution copy of a comic book cover;
 * 3) The image was released to the media to promote the issue in question;
 * 4) It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic book in any way;
 * 5) Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic book cover art on another comic book;
 * 6) The image is significant; it was created by a notable comic book artist, Tom Wilson; and it identifies the character depicted, Ziggy.
