[edit] Summary

[edit] Fair use rationale

There exists no free alternative, nor can one be created. AOL has copyrighted all its publicity images, therefore, all images of it are necessarily copyrighted.
This image respects commercial opportunities - a single low-resolution image cannot meaningfully compete with the full hi-resolution publication.
The image represents a minimal use - it is of a reasonable low resolution.
The image has been previously published by the copyright holder, both in physical and digital form.
The image is of a logo and design that is a part of a particular community.
The image generally meets the image use policy.
The image is widely used in all forms of publication (e.g. http://www.aol.com).
The image contributes strongly to the article. As a publication, the subject is more easily visualized.
The image is used only in the article namespace.
The image is from the website above, the copyright is owned by AOL Broadband Ltd.
Its inclusion in the article (AOL) adds significantly to the article because the image and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.
