[edit] Fair use in The Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)

Non-free / fair use media rationale for The Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)
Description	A publicity photo of Steve Barton and Sarah Brightman in the final scene of The Phantom of the Opera.
Source	Scanned from the Highlights from The Phantom of the Opera LP sleeve.
Article	The Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)
Portion used	The image is a publicity photo released by the Really Useful Group which owns the copyright, intended for distribution to promote the musical.
Low resolution?	It is a web-resolution image; any copies made from it would be of inferior quality.
Purpose of use	The image is significant because it depicts one of the scenes from the musical that is the subject of the article.
Replaceable?	No public domain or free image could be substituted, because cameras are forbidden during performances of the musical, and all images from it would be official and copyrighted.
Other information	The image can be found on various websites, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.

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.
