Warning sign

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

To the uploader: This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media. Please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the image and copyright information. Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Hit wo Nerae!

This image, Loveloveqp9.jpg, is being linked here. Although this image is subject to copyright, I, Loopla, feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. It is a low resolution copy of a poster but for non-promotional purposes
  2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to use the image for commercial purposes
  3. The image identifies the subject of the article
  4. The image adds significantly to the article because it identifies the anime, and is featured prominently on all media backed by the studio and the distributing networks.
