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. To the uploader: This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media. Please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the image and copyright information. Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.

[edit] Fair use rationale in King Crimson

Fair use rationale:

• The image in question is used in the context of the article to illustrate the artists in the band King Crimson as they appeared at the beginning of their musical career.

1. No free equivalent image is known to exist, and as the image is 38 years old, none is likely to be found. All five band members are still living people but they are much older now and could not be photographed as a group like this today.
2. The image in question was most likely published by the copyright holder as promotional material for a record or magazine, and its use here does not replace any market role for the original copyrighted media.
3. It is used to illustrate a musical article on wikipedia: King Crimson.
4. The image has been published.
5. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements (encyclopedic).
6. The image meets the media-specific policy requirements (format).
7. The image is used in at least one article.
8. The image contributes significantly to the article in question.
9. The image is only used in the article namespace.
10. The image contains proper attribution of the source of the material, a fair use tag, and a fair use rationale (this one).
