[edit] Licensing

Copyrighted

This image is of a magazine cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the magazine or the individual contributors who worked on the cover depicted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of magazine covers

  • to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question,
  • with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above,

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 uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Note: It is not acceptable to use images with this tag in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used directly in connection with the publication of this image. Such usages will be removed.

[edit] Fair use rationales

This image is subject to copyright. However, I (Yamla 14:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)) feel it is fair use in the articles on Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley (though, at this time, no other articles), because:

  1. it is a low resolution scan (copies would be of inferior quality due to the resolution)
  2. it does not limit the original copyright holder's rights or ability to sell the image or the magazine in any way
  3. it is being used in each case to illustrate the publication of the magazine in articles which specifically discuss the publication of this edition of the magazine. It is not being used solely to illustrate the people in question.
  4. copies of this image could not be used to make illegal copies of the magazine
  5. the image cover is significant because of the partial nudity of the women involved and because of the discussion this generated

Any use of this image in other articles would require an additional fair-use rationale. --Yamla 14:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I think this image can be used for Tom Ford as well as he was the director for this shot and appears in it. Shrek05 14:25 26 June 2006

Nope, check again. We cannot use magazine covers simply to depict a person on the cover. --Yamla 21:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
How is this different from using it for Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley? Its the exact same thing except that Tom Ford was more heavily criticized being the creative artist of this photo and cover. He caused more controversy than both of the two together --Shrek05 15:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
The articles on Johansson and Knightley specifically discuss the magazine cover, the article on Tom Ford does not. To be clear, I'd like more detailed discussion of the magazine in both of the women's articles, but that's why I have my objection. The use of the image in the Tom Ford article would just be to depict Mr. Ford, not to illustrate the controversy as the article currently stands. --Yamla 16:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Ahh, I thought I had added the controversy and links discussing Tom Ford's criticism due to this magazine, I didn't realize it hadn't saved. Is that the only reason as to why the picture cannot be used because the edit hadn't saved? If so, I can elaborated the controversy of the magazine cover in all three articles sometime later. --Shrek05 18:13, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeap, that's the only reason. Your additions, properly cited, would be valuable. --Yamla 18:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Added segment for Tom Ford. --Shrek05 17:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to re-add this to the Vanity Fair article as I've now added stuff about this issue to the article. Driller thriller 00:48, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
