[edit] Summary

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

It illustrates an educational article about the former HMAS Bayonet. The image is used as a means of visual identification of the former HMAS Bayonet. It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods. The logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher or the creator of the work depicted. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of posters

to provide critical commentary on the film, event, etc. in question or of the poster itself, not solely for illustration
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 uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
