I'm asking that the photo not be deleted, due to this being the most recent photo available of the Japanese rapper Daisuke "KM-MARKIT" Kawai. Many of the photos I was able to find of KM-MARKIT were between 2005-2007, so if others were to come across more recent photos of him, they may not realize who the artist is, due to the near 10-year age gap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xenobia4 (talk • contribs) 00:04, September 6, 2016 (UTC)
- @Xenobia4: That isn't how our fair use policy works I'm afraid. --Majora (talk) 00:10, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- How does one go about showing a current image of an artist when it was taken by a fan? I've seen several of these photos on wikipedia, but I'm not sure how to source it? Xenobia4 (talk) 01:01, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Xenobia4: If you took it, you can release it. Every other photo would be copyrighted to the photographer. You cannot use copyrighted photos without permission unless they fall under the very narrow fair use policy. Living people do not fall into that policy and all images of them must be free use. --Majora (talk) 01:06, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- If I can get the permission from the original person, I would be able to use it here? If I get their permission, how to I go about sourcing it so it does not get taken down? Xenobia4 (talk) 01:12, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Xenobia4: The photo release must be sent into our OTRS team. Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for more info. If you have questions let me know. --Majora (talk) 01:19, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- Can an official photo released from the agency be used? One of their promotional photos? Xenobia4 (talk) 01:50, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Xenobia4: I can't answer that. The copyright holder has to release the photo. If the agency owns the copyright to the photo they can release it. Otherwise, no they can't. --Majora (talk) 01:52, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
