[edit] Copyrighted image

I understand why some might think this is a fair-use image, but it's really not. It's a copyrighted image, and by showing it in a decent image size, and distributing it on more then just the article on the image itself, it's using the image for the benefit of Wikipedia and therefore the original photographer deserves compensation. Just because images are famous doesn't mean that they suddenly become public domain. I think this should be deleted immediately. 74.79.129.183 20:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I think you should seriously stop giving so much of a damn and maybe stop being such a drone.

The photo is owned by the photographer, he still has copyright over it. Fooling the public into thinking otherwise is irresponsible. Poorpete 11:38, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

It's fair use in Victory over Japan Day, Alfred Eisenstaedt, and V–J day in Times Square, but it's probably not fair use in Kiss. AnonMoos (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 13:36, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
