0x80_cracker_with_laptop.jpg‎ (228 × 153 pixels, file size: 44 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

This image is from a Washington Post article called "Invasion of the Computer Snatchers" about a cracker named 0x80 who creates botnets which are used to install spyware for a commission. The image itself is important because slashdots used it (and other images from the same article) to determine the location of 0x80. The metadata reveals the location is Roland, Oklahoma. The metadata is intact in this upload; you can see all of it by clicking "Show extended details" below.

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "0x80" : To illustrate the subject in question Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]), qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights. To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

The image is fair use in 0x80 because it is used for the educational purposes of identifying 0x80 and explaining how his location was identified. Its purpose is to advance knowledge about the person and the slashdot investigation. It does not compromise the Washington Post's profits because the image (and a larger version) was visible for free. It is a low-resolution so the quanitity is relatively low.
