[edit] Summary

[edit] Fair use rationale for Frank Hawkins

Fair Use
  • It is believed that the use of this image on the English-language Wikipedia to illustrate a section of the article on the person(s) depicted falls under the "Non-profit educational" clause of the Fair Use doctrine currently upheld by United States law. (17 U.S.C. § 107)
  • It is unlikely that a freely-licensed image suitable for illustrating the section of the article describing the subject's American pro football career will be found, owing to the nature of the section (unlikely that there are any freely-licensed images taken during this period). As such, the photograph can be reasonably described as "irreplacable".
  • Owing to the limited web-resolution of the image, only a small portion of a copyrighted work is used.
  • For the same reasons, the portion of the copyrighted work used is of inherently lower quality than the original, reducing the risk of competitiveness and therefore the effects of this copy on the market for or value of versions held by the owner of the copyright.

This image is in the public domain and was found on Raiders.com. It is also on Wikipedia Commons (I didn't know how to download it from there so I renamed it for this page). He is a public figure and a former NFL star and Super Bowl winner.
