Fair use for Escort (magazine) edit

It is believed Escortmagvol25no2.jpg can be used fairly in Escort (magazine) because:

1. It illustrates an educational article about the entity that the image represents; namely it is a recent issue of the magazine, suitably illustrating the current Paul Raymond Publications era.
2. It is of lower resolution than the original, and it thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
3. The image 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 image.
4. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value, as all issues of the magazine are similarly copyrighted.
5. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
