[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.

[edit] Fair use for The Vandals

This image, Vandals_Sadr_City.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I IllaZilla 05:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because it is a photograph documenting an unrepeatable event, and can therefore not reasonably be replaced with a free image showing the same event. The photograph serves a substantive nature as it illustrates a subject discussed in the article paragraph in which it appears. Namely, the image shows the band The Vandals performing for U.S. troops in Sadr City, Baghdad in 2004, an event which was significant to the band's career and was the subject of some controversy. This event and the accompanying controversy are discussed in the article alongside the photo. IllaZilla 05:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
