[edit] Fair-use rationale for Sombat Metanee

It is believed that the use of this image, SombatMetanee.jpg, in the article, Sombat Metanee, is fair use because:

1. The image in question is used in the context of the article to illustrate the actor Sombat Metanee as he appeared in the beginning of his film career.
2. No free equivalent image is known to exist, and as the image is nearly 40 years old, none is likely to be found.
3. The image in question was most likely published by the copyright holder as promotional material for a film. It was made freely available as part of a media hand-out for the 2006 Bangkok International Film Festival for a tribute to the actor, something that is also mentioned in the article.
4. It is used to illustrate a biographical article on wikipedia: Sombat Metanee.
5. The image contributes significantly to the article in question.
