[edit] Fair use rationale for Peanuts
This image, Peanutsgang.gif, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Steve block Talk) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
- No free alternative can exist given the likeness of the characters featured in the Peanuts comic strip are subject to trademark law and thus protected;
- The image has been released to the public through its placement on a freely accessible website by the copyright holders;
- The image features a number of characters featured in the strip, all of which are widely discussed in a critical manner within the article.
[edit] Licensing
This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.
The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.
It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of promotional material
- to illustrate the work or product being discussed;
- 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 uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information.
To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
