Eric Carr publicity photo, taken sometime circa late 80s/early 90s.

[edit] Rationale for Fair Use for Eric Carr

1. No free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information. It should be noted that the subject of the image is deceased.
2. The photo is not used in a manner that would replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media.
3. Image is of lower resolution than the original.
4. Photo has been previously published.
5. Photo is encyclopedic.
6. Photo meets media-specific policy requirements.
7. Photo is being used in at least one article.
8. Inclusion of this photo adds greatly to the article, as it pictures the subject which the article is about.

This image is claimed for fairuse for wikipedia as it is being used strictly for purposes about the subject pictured. And its use on wikipedia is intended to add to the article as it displays a picture of the subject with which the article is about. There are no known alternatives available, as the subject passed away in 1991. Use of this photo does not detract from the original licenced owners in anyway, as its use is strictly for educational purposes, and is at a reduced quality from the original.

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit. The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion. It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate: the person(s), product, event, or subject in question where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it 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. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos. Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license. Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.
