[edit] Summary

I obtained this image from http://www.rdfrights.com/Programme.aspx?id=2746. Presumably it is from the documentary 'The Enemies of Reason'.

I removed the blue cast in response to a query at Talk:The Enemies of Reason -- Smalljim (talk) 18:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[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 some images of promotional material 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. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content 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.

Image license requires critical commentary, not solely illustration. --Yamla (talk) 19:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I've changed one word and deleted another. Is that clear enough for you? —SMALL JIM 20:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

No. It's not the wording. It's that this is being used solely for illustration. To use it according to the license, it must be used to provide critical commentary. --Yamla (talk) 20:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Discussion continued at User_talk:Yamla#Image:2746big.jpg. Note that I've since changed the licence too. —SMALL JIM 12:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
