This non-free media file should be replaced with a smaller version to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. According to Wikipedia's policy for non-free content, the amount of copyrighted work used under fair use should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Wikipedia should not be usable as substitutes for the original work. A high-resolution non-free image is questionable fair use and may be deleted per Wikipedia's copyright policy. In most cases, this reduction will occur automatically: simply wait a while and a bot will resize the image file according to the guideline at WP:IMAGERES. When an automatic reduction does not occur or a manual reduction is desired, the size of an image may be reduced in an image editing program or by saving and re-uploading a suitably sized thumbnail. Once a reduced version of this file has been uploaded: Please replace this template with {{subst:orphaned non-free revisions}} (through source edit) or {{orphaned non-free revisions|date=22 December 2024}} (through VisualEditor or Twinkle).

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.
