Per § 107 it is believed that reproduction for criticism, comment, teaching and scholarship constitutes fair use and does not infringe copyright.

It is believed that the use of a picture

  • to discuss the artistic genre or technique of the work of art
  • or to discuss the artist or the school to which the artist belongs

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement.

[edit] Fair use for Image:Castelveccio Eisenman.jpg

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. It is a historically significant photo of artwork by a famous architect Peter Eisenman.
  2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
  3. It shows a broad overview of the work, without details.
  4. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
  5. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and how the event depicted was very historically significant to the general public.
