[edit] Saunders-Roe Princess

This is a Saunders-Roe publicity image of the Saunders-Roe Princess flying boat.

Use of this image in Wikipedia to illustrate an article on the Princess is contended to be Fair Use under United States law.

Purpose and Character: the use is to illustrate a free encyclopedia and thus is educational and non-profit in nature.
Nature of the work: Standard image of the aircraft, not an artistic illustration. This picture is merely a record of an object.
Amount and substiantiality: whole of a single publicity shot but at low resolution, insufficient for print publication.
Effect on work's value: Picture is a publicity still sent to the press at the time (1950s) intended for free publication. This picture was given away at no cost. The picture was intended purely for advertising the product pictured, which is no longer offered. Additionally, the company issuing the photograph is no longer in business. Thus, the commercial value of this picture to the copyright holder is nil.

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.
