Licensing
[edit]
 | This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit. The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion. It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:
qualifies as fair use under Copyright law of the United States. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos. Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.  Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale must be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

Rationale for "fair use" in the article Mad Season :
This image is used for the purposes of criticism and comment on the band Mad Season.
According to section 107 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976:
The fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment,...scholarship...is not an infringement of copyright. [1]
The image is of CONSIDERABLY lower resolution than the original and it is used for non-profit purposes. These two factors are noted as relevant by the Act. The photo does not limit the copyright owners' rights to reproduce the image and no free or public domain images have been located to represent this subject (a photo of the "main" members of the group and of Layne Staley).
