[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Plasmatics
Description	The Plasmatics, as photographed by Allan Tannenbaum in a West Side New York City meat locker, from the book SoHo Blues ©1980 Allen Tannenbaum.
Source	Low-resolution scan from the SoHo Blues website.
Article	Plasmatics
Portion used	Entire image.
Low resolution?	Resolution is adequately low.
Purpose of use	This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, which describes the band in question for which it promotes.
Replaceable?	Image is of a band that is NO LONGER ACTIVE, and the group's lead singer, Wendy O. Williams (seen in the center), is sadly deceased. This means that a license-free image is not likely to be found. It should be added that the free use policy does explicitly allow for this usage for both broken up bands and desceased individuals.
Other information	This image does not take away from the copyright holder's ability to profit from it. A free-licensed image of the band in question could not be found or created, and it is believed that such images would be difficult to find or create. If a free-licensed image can be found or created, then this photo should be replaced. It is thought that the person depicted or copyright holder is not against the use of the picture. If it is known that they are against its use, then it should be removed immediately.

[edit] Licensing

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.

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.
