Summary

Fair use in Book of Love (band)

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

1. It illustrates an educational article about the music group represented in the image.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
3. It is particularly appropriate for that purpose as each member of the group is clearly named.
4. It also conveys the mood of the musical artists, which would not be achieved in -- for example -- a photo taken by a fan at an event.
5. The image is of moderately low resolution, and is thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods. This is a copy with lower resolution than the original.
6. The logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
7. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
8. It was originally taken from http://www.last.fm/music/Book+Of+Love and made smaller. As of 0713^[update], it is still available elsewhere on the Internet. Therefore, publishing it on Wikipedia does not make it more available than it otherwise would be.
