[edit] Licensing

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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for use in the articles Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers

1. Image is used solely for the identification of the subject(s).
2. The use of this image on Wikipedia is not believed to disadvantage the copyright holder.
3. The subjects of the photograph are deceased, therefore a "new" image can not be created of these people, and specifically not of them together.
4. The film partnership of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers is one of the most influential and important pairings in film history. An image of them together is very important for each of their individual articles, and this particular image also serves to depict something of the mood their film relationship depicted, highly significant of its era.
5. Although free images are available for Astaire and for Rogers individually, no free images have yet been located for the Astaire-Rogers partnership.
