The front cover of Tōkyō Shitamachi 1930, an anthology of photographs by Kineo Kuwabara published by Kawade Shobō Shinsha. Design presumably © Kawade Shobō Shinsha, incorporating a photograph presumably © Kineo Kuwabara. -- Hoary 02:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

This image, Kuwabara-kineo01.jpg, is being linked from Kineo Kuwabara; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Hoary) think it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
2. it does not in any way limit the rights or impede the efforts of the copyright owners to claim ownership of or derive income from the book or incorporated photograph;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork in any saleable form.

The image is significant in the article because the book shows the continued popularity of Kuwabara's work and the photograph is a sample of the kind of scene that most photographers ignored at the time, Kuwabara being a celebrated exception. -- Hoary 02:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

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.
