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.

[edit] Fair use for "Tarponback.jpg" in the Rambler Tarpon article

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, the image is used under "fair use" because:

1. It is a historically significant photo of a famous concept car from 1963 that no longer exists (concept cars were routinely destroyed soon after they were shown to the public).
2. There is no "free" equivalent of the publicity photograph showing this particular concept car.
3. This has been previously published and had been used the automotive press, magazines and other media when comparing the design to more current automobiles such as the Chrysler Crossfire.
4. The name of the photographer/artist is unknown.
5. It is of lower resolution than the original, so it will not detract from the value of any original image.
6. The image is only being used for informational purposes within the Wikipedia article about this car (Rambler Tarpon).
7. The material is encyclopedic and otherwise meets general Wikipedia content requirements.
8. This meets the media-specific policy requirements.
9. The image is used in at least one article.
10. The material contributes to the article by specifically illustrating a relevant section within the text about this car and its contribution to the design of production versions, known as the Rambler Marlin.
11. The image does not detract from the reputation of the subject.
