Rationale for fair use in Scatman Crothers

Description:	Image of the deceased actor, singer and musician Scatman Crothers

Source:	http://deaconblues1103soul.blogspot.com/2007/09/scatman-crothers-gone-gone-gone.html

Rationale for use on wikipedia:	1.No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject - no free images have been allocated for this person. 2.The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product. 3.The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy. 4.The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above. 5.The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. 6.The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. 7.The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title. 8.No free images have been allocated for this person 9.The image is needed to identify the person for educational purposes in an encyclopedia entry and significantly improves the quality of the article. 10.The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder. 11.A replaceable free image for this person is impossible as he/she is deceased

Resolution:	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Compatibility with wikipedia?:	Use of image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
