The user may have photoshopped the image, but there's no indication that he took or has rights to the original photos. The same user previously uploaded Image:Besthitsmorrissey.JPG, which is also an apparent copyright violation. — Amble (talk) 01:11, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The photo is from Radio Times, December 2002, credit Tom Howard. Uploader's author and license information are garbage.  --Amble (talk) 05:03, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Although photo is listed as public domain it is of a living person and was copied from a tabloid website. — Copana2002 (talk) 03:53, 11 December 2008 (UTC).

The image contains artwork which was presumably commissioned by TWA and is now owned by American Airlines. I think the artwork is new enough that it has not passed into the public domain. Independent of this, I've tagged it as trademark because if American Airlines is smart, they've kept the TWA-related trademarks active enough to win in court. — davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  15:21, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The author claims he created it himself. If the author created the artwork himself, but he eyeball-copied the painting on the plane and the TWA logos from existing photos or other artwork or from memory, I'm not sure if it counts as a derivative work or not.  If he machine-copied it or scanned it, then it's derivative.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  15:23, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The painting drawings were not available from any source, which is why I found it necessary to make such a drawing . The Trans World branding and certainly its aircraft colours are for observable intents and purposes inactive . --Frank.trampe (talk) 00:32, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That is certainly useful to know. Unfortunately in today's litigious society it's still a question that must be dealt with, and the "inactivity" doesn't necessarily negate copyright concerns even if your version was done from memory.  Hopefully in the next couple of weeks someone who knows US copyright and trademark law better than me will chime in.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  03:16, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I recommend deleting this image as a derivative work. Stifle (talk) 11:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
