[edit] Fair use in Constitution of India, Jawaharlal Nehru and Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India

I contest that, while this image might be under copyright by the above-named organisation, it can be used on Wikipedia under this fair use rationale.

  1. It is a historically significant photo of a famous individual which is non-reproducible;
  2. It is a low-resolution image which does not inhibit the photographer/institute/organisation's right to profit from it.
  3. The photo is used for informational purposes only.

I acknowledge that the aforementioned fair use laws do not transfer cleanly into those of other nations, and that US fair use law is subject to change. I understand that if it is decided this image is not being used under the appropriate fair use provisions, it will be deleted. --Andy123(talk) and Shreshth91 (talk • contribs) 15:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Copyrighted This image is a faithful digitalization of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who took the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this Image
  • to illustrate the event or historically notable person(s) in question where:
  • The image depicts a non-reproducible historic event or historically notable person(s), and no free alternative exists or can be created, and
  • The image is low resolution and of no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of an article, and the use of the image on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright,
  • 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:Fair use for more information.

If this does not accurately describe this image, please remove this tag and provide a different fair use rationale.

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 and copyright information.
