Summary[edit]

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Soledad Brothers (band)
Description	Press release photo of the Soledad Brothers (band), from Alive Records..
Source	Photo is copyright 2006 by Alive Records.
Article	Soledad Brothers (band)
Portion used	Because the image is a publicity photo, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	*For fair use on Soledad Brothers (band):* The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article about the band, to show a primary visual image associated with the band, and to help the user quickly identify the band and know they have found what they are looking for. It is used for identification and critical commentary of the band for which it was created. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. Use of the image does not in any way harm the ability of the band to book performances, or its record label to sell albums or songs. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the photographer's providing graphic design services to music concerns and in turn marketing music to the public.
Replaceable?	The photo is of a band that has broken up, as of 2006. The image is no longer replaceable by free content.
Other information	Use of the photo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

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:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question;

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.

Warning sign

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.
