[edit] Summary

Publicity shot of Dermot Morgan promoting Fr. Ted which I have had on disk for some time. It was issued as a publicity photo for the Fr. Ted series. As with such publicity shots issued in press packs no restrictions whatsoever were placed on its usage, nor even the slightest suggestion of a restriction or a request that the location of its use be shown either prior or post publication to the agency. As a generally issued publicity shot it would qualify as fair use. Given the unrestricted manner in which it was issued (a standard availability in promotion), there are no grounds whatsoever in any case for thinking that it might be copyright.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Dermot Morgan

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is an image of a notable individual who is deceased in the role for which he is most famous.
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality)
3. The image is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Father Ted Crilly

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It illustrates an educational article about the character.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
3. The use of the image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the show.
4. It is a low resolution image.
5. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
6. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell, produce, or advertise the show in any way.

[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.
