This image is a booking photo, more commonly known as a mug shot, normally produced in the regular operations of a law enforcement agency or correctional facility. It is believed that the use of this photograph
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content. |
[edit] Fair use rationale for Frank LaGrotta
The image depicts LaGrotta in a police mug shot related to the investigation of corruption within the Pennsylvania General Assembly and is a non-reproducible image. The use is for educational purposes is essential to showing readers what Rep. LaGrotta looked like the day of his arrest. The image was reprinted nationwide and the possible commercial value of the photograph is not significantly reduced by its use on the article. The mug shot is in use on various news webpages, including Pittsburgh Post Gazette and the Patriot News, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.
- 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 arrest and incarceration 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.
