Image talk:Khaled3.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leila Khaled, formerly PFLP, well known photo, widely available, taken from http://www.bbc.co.uk/portuguese/especial/images/1327_eddieadams/1133817_addamspronto4.jpg

This image is probably PD. I claimed fair use only because I wasn't sure what else to call it in the absence of being sure it's PD. It's an historic, iconic image, one of the first of Leila Khaled, who was the first well-known woman terrorist, made all the more interesting because she was young and attractive in an otherwise all-male organization, and is wearing a bullet fashioned into a ring. It's a very famous photograph, widely available, and with no commercial value. Taken in the 60s/early 70s.

I've changed the tag to PD. I can't find anyone who knows who owns the copyright. As I said above, it's an iconic photograph, very famous, published in practically every newspaper and magazine that has ever written about Khaled. I suspect someone from the PFLP took it and released it into the public domain back in the 70s. SlimVirgin (talk) 11:12, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Photos do not become PD by being widely published. Tag removed. Thuresson 20:18, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use

Copyright law of the United States

U.S. Copyright Law, Title 17, Chapter 1, section 107

§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—

  1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
  2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
  3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
  4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
