::::Does such a market currently exist? Were one to exist in the future, would the hypothetical person who wished to see the front of the magazine be drawing views away from that market place by viewing these frontpieces here instead? Would we offer the option to purchase the whole magazine here, while the market does? These questions are all relevant to this comparison, it's not quite as cut and dry as is being suggested.

::::: Returning to this months later... Yes, I think if an online market existed today for TV Comic to reprint and re-sell old issues, ''the front covers would '''absolutely''' be on display''. If an equivalent magazine does exist, I'm sure the front cover absolutely is published on all online markets. So, yes, for the sake of clarity and archival work it absolutely would be fine, IMO, to show the front page. If, as a theoretical, I made a fan guide to collecting British comics and I had several pages dedicated to showing all these TV Comic fronts, ''that would fly in the current market as fair use.'' If we're being honest, the same can not be said of everything on this site we get away with! | |||
::::: The important part of this is that we are not using this material for the original purpose - we are not a ''Tom & Jerry'' Wiki, we are not republishing the full comics, and people are not coming here to read said work. People ''will'' be coming here to look up occasional confusions about periodicals. For instance - if you buy a TV Comic lot and the # is torn off a few issues, you can pop over to the Wiki and scroll through the covers until you find the one you have. (Obviously, you could figure out the issue number by studying the inside portions, but that's irrelevant to our purpose as a fan aide.) | |||
::::: Either way, the most important thing here is that we only seem to get invested in things like ''laws'' and specifically ''American legal defenses'' when it comes to new things we're changing on the site. Showing TV Comic covers is equally as legally justified as showing DWM covers - we could very easily get sued by Panini if they wanted it, but it's not going to happen. In the end, that's the most important talking point. ''It's not going to happen.''
