Hans-Erich Voss on a mugshot taken in Soviet captivity after World War II.

This photo was taken between 1945 and 1954 and comes from an official Soviet source. Since the USSR was not a party to international copyright conventions at that time I assume it is in the public domain. Adam 07:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, Adam, that "pre-1973" reasoning must be considered wrong (see here, here, and here). The critical cut-off year for the U.S. appears to be 1942. Please state where you got that image from, and what source (if any) is stated there. Lupo 09:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

As it apparently was first published only in post-Soviet times, I don't think {{PD-Russia}} applies. Lupo 11:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

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 "Hans-Erich Voss" : 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.

[edit] Fair use rationale

1. Purpose and character of the use: To illustrate the article Hans-Erich Voss
2. Nature of the copyrighted work: B/W mugshot, front and side views. Photo previously published in Vinogradov, V. K. et al.: Hitler's Death: Russia's Last Great Secret from the Files of the KGB, Chaucer Press, 2005; ISBN 1-904-44913-1. That book is a translation of the Russian original, published by Zvonnitsa Publishing House in 2000. I assume the photo was published in the Russian edition. The ultimate source of the photo is the KGB archives.
3. Amount used: The image is reproduced in full, but the quality is rather poor, and it's only a thumbnail reproduction of the larger original in the book.
4. Effect of the use on the potential market or value of the image: I don't think there is a market for this photograph. See also (3).

As we shouldn't use hi-res images under hair use, I have deleted that initial upload after having thumbnailed it. Lupo 11:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
