Summary of non-free use rationale for article Private Frazer

Scanned from a BBC publicity photograph in my collection taken by an unknown BBC staff photographer

Fair use for Private Frazer

Although the picture is subject to copyright, I (Jack1956) am of the opinion that it is covered by fair use provisions of U.S. copyright laws because:

it is a low resolution scan of a BBC publicity photograph, and hence copies would have no or limited commercial value;
it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the TV show or derivative productions in any way;
its use may encourage sales of DVDs of the series in which this character is shown
the image is being used for non-profit, educational, and/or illustrative/editorial purposes only;
the TV show (Dad's Army) featuring this image was produced by the BBC, a public service broadcaster;
the character (Private Frazer) represented in the image played a major role in a culturally significant TV show.

Licensing

This photograph is copyrighted and is NOT under a free license. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "John Laurie":

to provide visual identification of one or more specific individual(s), or an identifiable gathering of them,
where the individual(s) concerned are deceased, or where access would for practical purposes be impossible,
and for whom there is no known representation under a 'free' license,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.
