Eric Carr publicity photo, taken sometime circa late 80s/early 90s.

[edit] Rationale for Fair Use for Eric Carr

No free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information.
The photo is not used in a mannar that would replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media.
Image is of lower resolution than the original.
Photo has been previously published.
Photo is encyclopedic.
Photo meets media-specific policy requirements.
Photo is being used in at least one article.
Inclusion of this photo adds greatly to the article, as it pictures the subject which the article is about.

This image is claimed for fairuse for wikipedia as it is being used strickly for purposes about the subject pictured. And its use on wikipedia is intended to add to the article as it displays a picture of the subject with which the article is about. There are no known alternatives available, as the subject passed away in 1991. Use of this photo does not detract from the original licenced owners in anyway, as its use is strickly for educational purposes, and is at a reduced quality from the original.

This work is a copyrighted publicity photograph. It is believed that the use of some such photographs 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.

Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use 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. As well, commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights, if the photograph is of a person.

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:Image description page, as well as the source of the image, the photographer, and copyright information. Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.

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 well beyond simple identification or showing that this image is exceptionally difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent.
