[edit] Summary

From left, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young and Pegi Young perform in the second half of the concert for the film Neil Young: Heart of Gold by Jonathan Demme. This photo was released to the press for promotional purposes by Paramount Classics and Paramount Home Entertainment. It is being used in the absence of a comparable free-use image to illustrate articles about the artists and the film.

[edit] Rationales of fair use

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Neil Young
Description	A promotional photo released by Paramount Pictures for its film, Neil Young: Heart of Gold.
Source	An electronic press kit issued by Paramount Pictures (copyright 2006). The original high-resolution image (much higher than is needed for purposes on Wikipedia) was downloaded from Imagenet, which can only be accessed by account holders.
Article	Neil Young
Portion used	one photo
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	For fair use on Neil Young: Heart of Gold No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product. The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy. The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title. The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the film itself. The image is used in the article namespace. The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder. The image is significant because it illustrates a major component of the film, that of Neil Young being joined by close friends and his family (Emmylou Harris and his wife, Pegi Young), for a concert that was a very personal work, and a key moment in the artist's career. For fair use on Neil Young: In addition to the reasons cited above, the image is significant because it illustrates a highlight of Neil Young's career, in which he was joined by close friends and his family (Emmylou Harris and his wife, Pegi Young), for a concert that was a very personal work. The image is not being merely used to identify the subject (a free-use photo already accomplishes that). For fair use on Emmylou Harris: In addition to the reasons cited above, this image is significant because it illustrates a key component of Emmylou Harris' career, that of joining other notable artists in performances and recordings. She has frequently worked with Neil Young, an aspect of her career that is specifically mentioned in the article. The image is not being merely used to identify the subject (a free-use photo already accomplishes that).
Replaceable?	Not replaceable; publicity still photos from films are usually presumed non-free.

[edit] License

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.
