for identification and critical commentary on the music video in question
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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use.

[edit] Rationale of fair use for Mariah Carey

A user has requested a review of the fair use status of this image. Please do not remove this template until an independent review has taken place.

The image Image:OSD.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Extraordinary Machine 01:47, 19 November 2005 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

The image is a screenshot from a promotional music video originally created by Columbia Records, and intended for wide distribution.
No free or public domain images have been located for this single. While a public domain image has been located for the subject of the article, it does not adequately illustrate major points in the subject's career that are discussed in the article.
The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single or music video in any way.
The screenshot is intended to represent the subject recording one of her most successful singles with another recording act. Its inclusion in the article is important because it represents a significant point in the subject's career that is discussed in the article. The subject is well-known for the record-breaking commercial success of her records, and this single spent a record sixteen weeks at the top of the U.S. charts, possibly one of the most well-known records the subject holds. The image also illustrates information presented in the article regarding the subject's collaborations with other artists, of which there are many. Additionally, it should be noted that the image depicts the subject recording a song in a studio. In other words, this image is a suitable image to accompany discussions related to a recording artist.
The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single or music video in any way.
