Copyrighted

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 low-resolution images of promotional material

  • to illustrate the work or product being discussed;
  • 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 uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights 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.


Fair use presumption based on the following legal decision:

"[T]he (defendant) publisher reproduced the copyrighted advertisement in its entirety and did so in a trade book that was sold for profit. But the Court gave the greatest weight to yet another fair-use factor, that is, the "purpose and character" of the book in which the copyrighted advertisement was reproduced. The Fair Use Doctrine strongly favors "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research"—and the Court was persuaded that the advertisement was reproduced in Trends 2000 for the purpose of illustrating and then commenting upon the ways in which nuclear power is promoted by its advocates." from this site: Publishers' Marketing Association
