Copyright problems
Phearson disputes that the photo is replaceable by a free equivalent saying, “Original upload has been modified to comply with fair use, thus created to comply with fair use.” Then modification reduced the resolution and explains that the photo should not be deleted for having too high a resolution, but it doesn’t explain why someone could not take a photograph of her (a living person, not a recluse or institutionalized) and release it under a free license.

Impala99 says the copyright is owned by TBS/Turner Broadcasting System and that the photo is licensed under Cc-by-3.0. What evidence is there that they have licensed it under that license? —teb728 t c 10:35, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I modified the picture down to the bust of the subject, and reduced the quality. I thought we would be able to use it under a claim of fair use because it was chopped up. I am also attempting to contact the subject for a photograph at dailybooth. Phearson (talk) 18:11, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You are probably correct that someone (not on Wikipedia) could use it under fair use. But we can't use it on English Wikipedia because of an additional condition, WP:NFCC, that goes beyond fair use: “Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose.” A non-free photo of a living person is almost always replaceable. —teb728 t c 21:54, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, true. But in the event that a good faith search has been attempted to locate a free photo, and none found. The non-free one would have to stay. I am currently trying to secure a photo now, but subject is on vacation in Florida. Phearson (talk) 03:39, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
