Fair use is a copyright principle based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of education, commentary, and criticism. This site may contain copyrighted material the copyright owner has not specifically authorized the use of. Logos, Pictures, Links, and Fair Use: Some images or logos used to represent links on this website may qualify for fair usage in the context described below. Some of these images may be screenshots of a copyrighted image of an organization and are protected by copyright and/or trademark.
The copyright for the image is most likely owned by the company or corporation that produced it. It is believed that using a limited number of web-resolution screenshots purely for identification and visual association to represent a link to the associated organization qualifies as fair use under International copyright laws. Any other uses of this image, here or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. For more information, see the individual copyright information by following the appropriate link to the organization’s website. The use of the image here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Rule Now Media (Bored Kitty) or vice versa. Non-free use media rationale: The entire image or logo conveys the intended meaning and avoids tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. The image or logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being an unnecessarily high resolution.
The image is placed on the page strictly as a visual aid to identify the organization associated with the link, solely in the context of a subject of public interest. The significance of the image or logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they will reach the intended website associated with the organization by clicking on it, and illustrate the organization’s intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. Because it is a logo, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
