[edit] Licensing

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 to illustrate the booking consistent with non-free content criteria, where no free alternative exists or could be created, 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. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work.

[edit] Fair use rationale for George Carlin

• 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.
• This has been previously published on both the internet and in print media.
• This image is only used in the article on George Carlin in the section discussing his arrest for indecency.
• This image is of historical significance, as it backs up/shows the controversiality of the routine "Seven Words"
