File:The Eye of the Heron by Ursula K. Le Guin.jpg

This image, The Eye of the Heron by Ursula K. Le Guin.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Random Passer-by) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
2. it is an incomplete copy of a book cover;
3. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the original artwork or book cover design or book in any way;
4. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the original artwork or book cover design or book;
5. the image is only being used for informational purposes.

This image is of book cover(s), and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers to illustrate an article discussing the book in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
