FAIR USE --- RATIONALE

  • No free equivalent - Non-free content is allowed to be used where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose - as is the case with this photo. This is the only known photo of him with the film negative for his famous image "Guerrillo Heroico".
  • Respect for commercial opportunities - Non-free content is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media. Using this image does not do that as this image is not for sale independently. If anything it increases the chances that someone may see it, and purchase the book for which it is included in.
  • Minimal usage - This is the only one in this article.
  • Minimal extent of use - Only 1 photo from the book, and it is much smaller than the original which covers across 2 pages.
  • Previous publication - Published in the stated source.
  • Content - It meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. The only known photo of the photographer with the negative for what has been called by the Maryland Institute of art "The most famous photograph in the world."
  • One-article minimum - Only article this image is used in and its presence significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, with its omission being detrimental to that understanding.


IN ADDITION ...

  • Wikipedia allows Fair Use for Images with iconic status or historical importance: As subjects of commentary.
