Summary[edit]

Front cover of "Vytautas Stanionis: Fotografios/Photographs 1945–1959" (N.p. [but certainly Lithuania]: Baltos lankos, 2002.) Cover design presumably © Baltos lankos; incorporating part of a photograph presumably © the estate of Vytautas Stanionis.

Fair use within Vytautas Stanionis[edit]

This image, Stanionis-fp.jpg, is being linked from Vytautas Stanionis; 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 it shows the cover of the only widely available and far-ranging collection of the Lithuanian works of Vytautas Stanionis. -- Hoary 08:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
