From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Description: June 9, 1990 — The image shows a car belonging to Max Headley of the University of Bristol Dept of Physiology after a bomb fell off it and exploded on the road next to it, injuring a child passing by in a stroller. Police believe the bomb, which contained plastic explosives, had been planted in the car a few days earlier. No one claimed responsibility, but the Animal Liberation Front was widely blamed.

Source: The image was taken from Senior, Kathryn. "Defending the use of animals to research human disease," Molecular Medicine Today, Volume 1, Issue 5, August 1995, p. 223. In the article, the image is credited to the Research Defence Society in London. They have responded by e-mail that they believe they do not own the copyright; they believe the image originally came from a news organization. It may also be a British police image.

[edit] Rationale for use in Animal Liberation Front

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

  1. It is an historically significant photograph of a serious bomb attack on a British researcher.
  2. It is of much lower resolution than the original, and copies made from it will be of very inferior quality.
  3. It is only being used for informational purposes.
  4. It is unlikely to have any commercial value, and if it does, our use of this low-quality version will have no effect on that value.
  5. The image depicts a non-reproducible historic event, and there is no free equivalent that we know of.
  6. Its use in the article will significantly increase readers' understanding of the seriousness of the attack, which is hard to convey without an image.
