[edit] Summary

This is a promo picture for the music video for "Today", obtained from flickr, and edited slightly. Even though the image description page there states "all rights reserved", there is no evidence to suggest that the source, in fact, holds the rights to it. The most likely owner of the copyright is Virgin Records, the label under which the single "Today" was released.

[edit] Licensing

This work is a copyrighted publicity photograph. It is believed that the use of some such photographs to illustrate:

• the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
• 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 use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.
To the uploader: This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media. Please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the image and copyright information. Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.

[edit] Fair use in The Smashing Pumpkins

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

1. it is a promotional photograph of a famous rock band;
2. it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of substantially inferior quality);
3. the image is being used only for informational purposes;
4. its inclusion adds significantly to the article because it illustrates (a) the subjects of the article participating in the making of a music video discussed in the accompanying article text, (b) the importance of music videos to the band's success, and (c) the importance of the relevant song (the band's first major hit single) and album (the band's first hit album); and
5. the image is IRREPLACEABLE for the purpose it is used (to portray the music video for the song).
