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 "Small Faces" :
  • 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 ([1]),

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.

[edit] Fair use for Small Faces

Though this image is subject to copyright, I, User:Sue Wallace, believe its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws for the article mentioned above because:

  1. Used in infobox for the band
  2. Low resolution
  3. Is only as much resolution as necessary to identify and show the original band members while the band was active for critical and historical analysis, not enough to be used for illegal purposes such as piracy.
  4. Image is derived from a scan by http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/11914.jpg (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
  5. Entire front cover is used.
  6. The image illustrates and confirms the visual appearance of a historically notable band Small Faces in an article whose subject and title is the same. The article provides indepth, factually cited information on the history of the Small Faces and their musical works throughout their career (1965-1969). I believe the historical image is therefore needed in order to complete the critical analysis and to increase the readers understanding and knowledge of the subject which is being discussed.
  7. No copyright free image of the band has been found and any derivative would still be subject to copyright.
  8. Small Faces disbanded in early 1969 (nearly 40 years ago) and there are still no copyright free images that have been released. Also two of the band members are now dead so no new free band images can be created.
  9. This image and others like it are already widely distributed to identify the band as part of music reviews and biographical catalogs and reviews, so I believe I degrade no market value by providing it here.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Small Faces (Decca)

Although this image is subject to copyright, I, User:Sue Wallace believe its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because: The low resolution image is used in an infobox as visual identification of a historical and notable music album by Small Faces which reached # 3 in the UK album chart. It is included for critical analysis and to assist the reader in recognising and understanding the subject. There is no free alternative artwork available that could be used and it is believed that the inclusion of the image adds to the article addressing the album Small Faces (Decca).

  1. For infobox use only.
  2. Low resolution - (unsuitable for illegal purposes such as piracy).
  3. In an article dedicated to the review of the above album for information, critical and educational purposes and to aid the reader's recognition of the recording visually.
  4. Unreplaceable - (no copyright free alternative exists).
  5. Image inclusion in the article as described does not imply any rights to copyright ownership.
  6. Use of the image is not believed nor intended to interfere or hinder the copyright holders ability to profit from this image.
  7. Source: http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/11914.jpg
  8. The image is also widely available from internet websites) and publications, as part of discographies, reviews and articles about the album and the band Small Faces.
  9. This album is notable reaching # 3 in the UK album chart in 1966
  10. The copyright is believed to held by Decca Records.
