Anti-Globalization protest on the occasion of the World Economic Forum (not a G8 summit; the file name is wrong—Lupo), Davos, January 2003. At that demonstration, there was a group of about 50 persons dressed up in ape costumes wearing masks of political leaders from around the world, carrying a golden calf and beating a globe with their sticks. This image shows two participants of that demo. See also these images of that event, or that image.

[edit] Fair use claim

1. Purpose and character: used in Anti-WEF protests in Switzerland, January 2003. The image has been misinterpreted; the article sets that straight. In the widest sense, the purpose is thus criticism (of the image).
2. Nature of the copyrighted work: newswire image of January 2003.
3. Amount used: a low-res, highly compressed JPG of moderate size, unsuitable for serious print publication.
4. Effect of the use on market value: Next to none. The image makes sense only in the context of a minor incident back in 2003, and the low resolution makes serious re-publications unlikely anyway. Also, since the event is two years in the past and the photo is not exactly great (composition is, IMO, average at best, and the reflection running through it and through the Rumsfeld character's face is a serious flaw), the market value of this image is likely to be low anyway.
