[edit] Fair use rationale
Fair use is asserted for the article William Fichtner and the character he portrays only, on the following grounds:
- the image was released by its copyright owner as a promotional photograph
- no loss of income for the copyright owner can reasonably be expected by using the promotional photo
- an image which does not rely on the doctrine of fair use is very difficult to obtain
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.
