Fair use in The Little Tigers (Taiwanese band)[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=2){kind=link}
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, because:
- It illustrates an educational article about the music group represented in the image.
- The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
- It is particularly appropriate for that purpose as each member of the group is clearly named.
- It also conveys the mood of the musical artists, which would not be achieved in -- for example -- a photo taken by a fan at an event.
- The image is of moderately low resolution, and is thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods. This is a copy with lower resolution than the original.
- The logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
- It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
- It was originally taken (and cropped) from http://www.jaynestars.com/wp-content/uploads/cache/18634_500.jpg.
- The music group has disintegrated almost 20 years ago and the image will not hurt any sales.
