[edit] Summary

[edit] Fair use rationale for Peanuts

This image, First peanuts comic.PNG, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Steve block Talk) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the characters depicted are copyrighted and also subject to trademark and thus protected;
It is a low resolution copy of a comic strip;
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the comic strip in any way;
Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the comic strip in another book;
The image is significant; it was created by a notable comic strip artist, Charles Schulz. It is the first published Peanuts strip.
The article discusses the strip and the art style used in a critical manner and notes the publication of this particular strip, making this image useful in identifying the strip and the early artistic style contained.

[edit] Licensing

This image is a sequence of panels from a comic strip or the interior of a single issue of a comic book and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic or the writer(s) and/or artist(s) which produced the comic in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of a sequence of panels from a comic strip or an interior page of an individual comic book

to illustrate:
- the scene depicted, or
- an important aspect of the copyrighted character(s) or group(s), which is depicted on the excerpted scene in question,
where no free alternative exists or can be created,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
