From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actor Peter Jones

This is a promotional photograph used in the BBC obituary at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/entertainment/708353.stm and is used under fair use criteria in the article Peter Jones. It is not replaceable, as the subject is now deceased. It is used for the purpose of identification and rpelaces a screenshot which was of lower quality. Guy (Help!) 12:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rationale for use on wikipedia in the article Peter Jones

Non-free biography-related media rationale
Rationale for fair use in Peter Jones
Description:

Image of deceased playwright, actor and broadcaster Peter Jones .
Source:
Rationale for use on wikipedia:

1.No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject - no free images have been allocated for this person.
2.The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
3.The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy.
4.The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above.
5.The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
6.The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
7.The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
8.No free images have been allocated for this person
9.The image is needed to identify the person for educational purposes in an encyclopedia entry and significantly improves the quality of the article.
10.The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.
11.A replaceable free image for this person is impossible as he/she is deceased
Resolution:

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Compatibility with wikipedia?:

Use of image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

[edit] Licensing

Copyright undetermined This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion as established by these terms of use.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

  • the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
  • where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
  • 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 usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.
