Summary[edit]

Cover of Modesty Blaise by Peter O'Donnell - first US edition (hardcover), Doubleday, 1965; Scan.

Fair use rationale[edit]

It is believed that this image, ModestyBlaise.jpg, is subject to fair use in the article Modesty Blaise because:

• The image is used for identification and critical commentary of the article subject
• The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
• The image is used to provide a sample of the comic book artist's work
• The image is a web-resolution image, of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
• It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
• No free or public domain images may be located for this item.
• It depicts a fictional subject, a character, that is copyrighted. It would be impossible to create a replacement image which would not be subject to the original author's copyright.
• The image substantially improves the article it is in.
• It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
• Its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder.
• Its use on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
• Its use in the article Modesty Blaise (novel) is not redundant to the appearance of a separate first edition image as this cover art is featured in a prominent film, Pulp Fiction and this is discussed within the context of this article.

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.
