[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for U2
Description	Picture of U2 as teenagers in the late 1970s. The picture has also appeared on the cover art of U218 Singles and U2 by U2 (the picture has also appeared along with other photos from the same photoshoot in the autobiography).
Source	Discogs
Article	U2
Portion used	Cropped to remove background elements and white space
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	The picture is intended for educational purposes, to illustrate how young U2's members were when they formed the band. Since they have remained together for 30 years without lineup changes, this is intended to show how much of their lives has been spent in the band.
Replaceable?	It is unlikely any free images can be provided of the band from this time period.

[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.

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.
