It's certainly not productive when the involved parties won't even provide a link to the discussion. Sean, Why must you ask the list to form opinions based on a one-sided retelling rather than just directing us to the discussion to read for ourselves?
Please go upthread to review exactly what I asked for -- pointers to methods that I (or anyone else) could use to back up claims of copyright ownership. That particular discussion is (in my opinion) settled by claiming fair use of any aspect of that image that I am unable to grant a license to. We display images of ''Harry Potter'' books; we can display an image of a particular book that I own.
You may own the copyright of the text, but do you own the copyright of the cover image? That is the pertinent question. We do display images of book covers, but that is normally covered by fair use; if we want to use the image in question, we have to use fair use unless the copyright of the cover image itself is yours, in which case you can use a copyleft licence.
