Hello,
I understood that a few seconds of music are "fair use", we do not distribute the entire song but only a sample suitable to give a first impression.
I somewhat understood why a picture of Donald Duck is "fair use". We are not in the same business as Disney, we are writing an encyclopedia and not comic books.
But I can't understand why this http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image%3A843-870_Europe.jpg is fair use. The map has been created for an encyclopedia or an history textbook. If this is fair use, is there any picture we may not use?
