[edit] Summary

Fair use rationale: a) no free image available - the group existed 1957-61 in this form. b) The copyright holder is Bob Shane, sole owner of Kingston Trio, Inc. c) Bob Shane has given me expressed written permission to use pictures from his Kingston Trio website for this and related Wikipedia articles. Original website is: http://www.kingstontrio.com/html/home.htm

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.

While I realize that Wiki must cover itself and all legal bases, this process is both confusing and unnecessarily complex.

AS PREVIOUSLY STATED:

a) the image belong to copyright holder Bob Shane and appear on the website identified.

b) there are no "free" alternatives.

c) Copyright holder Bob Shane has given me written permission to use images from his website for Wikipedia articles.

d) No monetary damage would be done by downstream use.

I cannot imagine what more justification would be needed.
