Honey.jpg‎ (709 × 352 pixels, file size: 29 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

A screenshot of Mariah Carey in the music video for her single "Honey" (1997). Taken from www.themariahnetwork.com. Image copyright is owned by Columbia Records.

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted music video or promotional video for a music artist, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the producers of the video and possibly also by the music artist. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the music video in question 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.

[edit] Rationale of fair use for Mariah Carey

The image Image:Honey.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Extraordinary Machine 01:47, 19 November 2005 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The image is a screenshot from a promotional music video originally created by Columbia Records, and intended for wide distribution.
2. No free or public domain images have been located for this single. While a public domain image has been located for the subject of the article, it does not adequately illustrate major points in the subject's career that are discussed in the article.
3. The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single or music video in any way.
4. The screenshot is intended to represent the subject in a more sexual light. Its inclusion in the article is important because it represents a significant point in the subject's career that is discussed in the article. The lyrics and music video of this single, as well as other songs on the album it originated from, presented a more overtly sexual image of Carey than had been previously seen. It should be noted that the image depicts the subject scantily clad and surrounded by men. In other words, this image is the most suitable image to accompany discussions related to the single and its impact on the subject's career.
5. The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single or music video in any way.

The use of this image in the article(s) Mariah Carey and Honey (Mariah Carey song) was reviewed by User:Quadell on September 1, 2006 and deemed likely to qualify as fair use, as it is believed to meet all criteria as described in Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. This image's use on other pages or in different contexts may require additional review.
