[edit] Fair use for Billie Joe Armstrong

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a historically significant photo of a famous individual.
It is used in the article to illustrate the incident discussed directly in the article.
It is of much lower resolution than the original.
The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
The image is not for retail sale, and thus its appearance here does not interfere with sale of the image.

[edit] Licensing

This image is a booking photo, more commonly known as a mug shot, normally produced in the regular operations of a law enforcement agency or correctional facility. It is believed that the use of this photograph

to illustrate the booking consistent with non-free content criteria,
where no free alternative exists or could be created,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work.
