File:Aozora Bunko how-to-make illustration.png

This is a how-to-fold-paper graphic, presumably owned by "Aozora Bunko" for Aozora Bunko's specific public-policy advocacy purposes. Its usage is as follows: graphic explanation published in web site context. This graphic was created for a project which encourages Japanese citizens to submit petitions and letters to members of the Japanese Diet and to the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs. The purpose of these submissions would be to express opposition to changing Japan's compliance with Berne convention copyright law time-frames; logo still relevant in 2008.

Aozora Bunko

All of only one side of the mailing. The entire graphic is used to convey the meaning intended, which is to show how to fold a petition paper for formal submission to a Japanese government office or elected representative. This visual image is necessary in this specific article to reinforce the substantive claim that what was begun in 1997 as a not-for-profit digital library has also become a public-policy advocate in the narrow issue of copyright law as it affects the organizations catalog of modern literary works. This graphic has helped dissipate an on-going dispute in which an editor did not believe that Aozora Bunko could be both (a) a digital library and (b) a public-policy advocate urging Japanese citizens to engage in one and only one action. The mere fact that this otherwise difficult-to-parse dispute arose now becomes a post hoc ergo propter hoc rationale which explains why this very specific fair-use is appropriate and needed.

This image is to be uploaded next to paragraphs describing "Aozora Bunko"'s public-policy advocacy. Readers who don't read Japanese or who are reluctant to click on the Japanese web site will be able to grasp "Aozora Bunko"'s intent by simply scanning this how-to-fold-paper graphic. There is commentary in the article about the graphic itself as follows: (A)-- Image:Aozora_Bunko_how-to-make_illustration.png This is an explanatory illustration prepared by Aozora Bunko as part of project encouraging Japanese citizens to contact Diet members in effort to express a point-of-view. Aozora Bunko has joined with others in organizing to oppose changes in Japanese copyright law, and that opposition has led to encouraging Japanese citizens to submit letters and petitions to the Japanese Cultural Affairs Agency and to members of the Diet.<:ref name="a1">[:http://www.aozora.gr.jp/shomei/ Aozora Bunko (in Japanese]</ref>" and (B) -- "The evolution of Aozora Bunko from a digital library to a public-policy advocacy organization is an unintended consequence which developed only after the perceived threat to the Aozora Bunko catalog became otherwise unavoidable.<:ref name="jto2006">Tamura, Aya. "Novelists, others want copyright protection extended," Japan Times Online. September 30, 2006.</ref>"

Because this graphic is so specific, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

This very small, very specific digital library organization in Japan felt forced to become public-policy advocate in 2006 in order to protect its current catalog of free e-books; and this illustrative graphic will help readers understand the dual roles of what is otherwise an apolitical organization.
