[edit] Fair use in Cats (musical)

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.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Cats (musical)
Description	A publicity photo of the original 1981 London cast of Cats.
Source	Felina's Jellicle World
Article	Cats (musical)
Portion used	The image is a publicity photo released by the Really Useful Group which owns the copyright, intended for distribution to promote the musical.
Low resolution?	It is a web-resolution image; any copies made from it would be of inferior quality.
Purpose of use	The image is significant because it is a group shot of the characters as portrayed by the original 1981 London cast of the musical, showing the early costumes and makeup in the production.
Replaceable?	No public domain or free image could be substituted, because cameras are forbidden during performances of the musical, and all images from it would be official and copyrighted.
Other information	The image can be found on various websites, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.

[edit] Fair use in Cats (musical)

This image is being used to illustrate the article Cats (musical). I feel that this qualifies as fair use because:

It is a web-resolution image; any copies made from it would be of inferior quality.
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to produce the musical or sell the DVDs in any way.
The image is significant because it is a group shot of the characters, showing the costumes and makeup used in the musical.
No public domain or free image could be substituted, as all screenshots from the Cats DVD are copyrighted, and because cameras are forbidden during performances, any from the stage show would have to be official and copyrighted as well.
The image can be found on various websites, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.
