The copyright of the sculpture depicted in this photograph is believed to belong to the artists Steve Badanes, Will Martin, Donna Walter and Ross Whitehead [1]. Its depiction in this derivative work is unlicenced, but its use to illustrate the article Fremont Troll is believed to be fair use under U.S. copyright law:

Copyrighted

This is a two-dimensional representation of a copyrighted sculpture, statue or any other three-dimensional work of art. As such it is a derivative work of art, and per US Copyright Act of 1976, § 106(2) who owns copyright of the original has the exclusive right to authorize derivative works.

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 illustrate the three-dimensional work of art in question,
  • 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.

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

[edit] Rationale for fair use in Fremont Troll

I (User:Cacophony) believe that the use of this image to illustrate the sculpture Fremont Troll in this article is fair use under U.S. copyright law because:

  • It is used solely for the purpose of illustrating the sculpture
  • These articles would be deficient without an illustration of this sculpture
  • No freely licensed alternative is available for this purpose
  • The image is of low resolution and so does not diminish the copyright holder's ability to profit from images of this artwork
