Fair use in The Pillows
Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
- It illustrates an organization, in this case The Pillows.
- It is a low-res version of the design.
- A free alternative is not available, since redrawing the design is no different than using the original.
- Use of this logo does not impede the ability of the copyright holder to profit.
- It has been previously published, on several widely available publications.
- The article discusses the design, so having an image of it adds to the article in an encyclopedic way.
