Fair use Rationale for Giichi Nomura for use in Giichi Nomura edit

Though the picture is subject to copyright I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• It in no way infringes or assists in the illegal reproduction or distribution of the content of the event, goods or services being advertised;

• It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the event, goods or services in any way;

• The image is of small size and inferior quality/resolution, so that attempts to make illegal print copies of the poster artwork would be useless;

• The image is being used strictly for informational and/or educational purposes;

• It furthers the goals of providing verifiable information concerning the subject matter, in that it visibly demonstrates content which is referenced explicitly or implicitly within the text of the article itself.

• No free images have been found of the subject.

• Giichi Nomura is no longer living. A single image of Nomura is considered useful and important to illustrate the subject.
