[edit] Fair use rationale for The Sopranos

Non-free / fair use media rationale for The Sopranos
Description	A promotional poster for the television series The Sopranos, depicting the main cast of the second season (and, with the exception of Nancy Marchand, the entire series).
Source	Issued by HBO. Found at sopranoland.com (image link).
Article	The Sopranos
Portion used	A crop from the actual poster.
Low resolution?	Yes.
Purpose of use	To illustrate the article The Sopranos, greatly enhancing it by providing visual identification of the subject. Also see rationale below.
Replaceable?	No free alternative available.
Other information	Though the picture is subject to copyright I (funkyvoltron) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because: The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the show or DVDs in any way. It is of low resolution, copies made from it will be of inferior quality. It serves to illustrate several characters of a well-known television series; it also conveys a sense of a well-known television series. The image was issued to promote the subject of the article that uses it. It is a common promotional item for a well-known work of American popular culture. The image is being used for informational purposes only.

[edit] Licensing

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.
