Fair use in Giuseppe Taddei
[edit]
The image linked here is claimed by Wikipedia editor 4meter4 to be used under fair use because:
- It is an image of a historically significant figure
- Giuseppe Taddei is deceased and it is believed that no free equivalent exists
- The image is being used for informational and identificational purposes only and at the head of the article
- The inclusion of the image adds significantly to the article
- The image has already been published outside Wikipedia at http://www.operanews.com/Opera_News_Magazine/2010/9/Departments/Obituaries.html
This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).
To the uploader:
- Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
- For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.
- Template:Non-free use rationale 2 may be helpful for stating the rationale.
