Fair use rationale for My Story

Although this image is subject to copyright, I, User:Sue Wallace, believe its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws for the book article mentioned above because:

1. It is used in an article about the book My Story by Ronnie Kray
2. The image is used in the article's infobox
3. It is a low resolution image
4. The low resolution of the image makes it unsuitable for illegal purposes such as piracy
5. The entire image is used
6. The article describes the book in-depth and the subject matter shown in the image
7. Its inclusion is for information purposes and adds to the readers overall critical analysis of the book and the article
8. The image is of a well-known person who is no longer living (since 1995).
9. The image copyright is believed to be owned by Pan Books.
10. Its inclusion here makes no claims of copyright ownership
11. Image was sourced from http://www.thekrays.co.uk/kraybooks/mystory.jpg and is available on many other websites.
12. The creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publishing company. Claimed as fair use regardless.
13. No copyright free image of the book exists (any would be a derivative and would still be subject to copyright).
14. This image is already widely distributed to identify the book as part of reviews and catalogs so I believe I do not degrade any market value by providing it here for critical and educational purposes .
