[edit] Rationale of fair use for new generation of African leaders

The image Image:MuseveniKagame.jpg is being linked here; though the image is originally copyright, I (TreveX^talk 19:51, 5 September 2005 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The use of this image in the article is important because it depicts two of the major figures (Yoweri Museveni and Paul Kagame) that were considered to be part of the "new generation" of African leadership, which is the topic of the critical discussion in the article. The fact that the two leaders are pictured in discussion serves to illustrate the personal ties between many of the so-called "new generation".
2. There are no free or public domain images depicting two or more members of the "new generation" together.
3. The image was made available in the online Rwandan Presidential photo album and is therefore intended for wide distribution.
4. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the image in any way.
5. The United States Copyright Act of 1976 provides for "the fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment, ...scholarship, or research".

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "New generation of African leaders" : To illustrate the subject in question Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([2]), 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 and Wikipedia:Copyrights. To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.
