Image talk:1965-AMC Cavalier ShowCar.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] How do you find a replacement picture of a show car that no longer exists?

Subst:nsd,

Thanks for adding your note regarding "is replaceable" on this image. I think that I have fully described the reasons for the use of this image under the "fair use" section.

Could you please explain how a picture of a concept car from over 40 years ago fails the first "fair use" criterion? In other words, how is it possible to illustrate a subject that does not exist today and how do you create a freely licensed image of it now. Show cars like this AMC Cavalier were destroyed; therefore, it is not possible to take a picture of it today.

Would taking a picture of the factory photo qualify as "replacement" under the copyright rules? Perhaps I am mistaken, but I do not think another image generation could mask the "rights" of this freely distributed press release photograph.

The purpose of including this image is to help illustrate some of the characteristic designs that were incorporated into this concept car. Therefore, I believe it adds to the value of the article, in addition to the aims of Wikipedia.

If you disagree, I welcome your questions and a detailed discussion of the concerns.

Thank you, CZmarlin 01:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
