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.

[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Fuser (band)
Description	Promotional image of Fuser
Source	Derived from taken from an EPK (Electronic Press Kit). (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
Article	Fuser (band)
Portion used	Entire image
Low resolution?	Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the style of artwork used for the article, not enough to be used for piracy.
Purpose of use	Illustrates the appearance of the band and identifies it by recognized features.
Replaceable?	No free equivalent can equal this image (any would be a derivative of this artwork)
Other information	Image in this form is already widely distributed to identify the band as part of catalogs and reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.
