[edit] Fair use in Rachel Corrie

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket fair use categories listed at Wikipedia:Fair use#Images or Wikipedia:Fair use#Audio_clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Rachel Corrie":

To illustrate the object in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia ([1]), hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([2]),

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 and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed fair use rationale.

I (Martin 18:37, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC)) believe that the image linked here is under fair use as:

It is a historically accurate photo. The act depicted has been deemed important by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and other commentators on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The original author is not known, but credit is given to the location Wikipedia obtained it from - the International Solidarity Movement.
It is presumed to be of much lower resolution than the original photograph (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality) and is used as a thumbnail in the article itself - smaller still.
It is necessary to meet the Wikipedia requirements of a "neutral point of view": the neutrality of reports that do not include this image has been questioned by the ADL and other commentators.
The photo was widely reproduced both by websites and by other means. Wikipedia's redistribution has no significant additional effect on the market or potential market for the work.
A good faith attempt (which failed) to trace the copyright owner and obtain explicit permission has been made: see Talk:Images of Rachel Corrie.

Actually, this is an AP picture by Khalil Hamra, which would make it copyrighted and not fair use. A quick google search would have turned up this information.
