Fair Use Rationale for George Brecht[edit]

  1. This low resolution image of Brecht is used in the info box in an article about the artist and his work.
  2. He is an historic artist and this image adds value and information to the article.
  3. It is considered that this will not cause commercial harm to the copyright holder. It is believed that this is fair use and does not infringe copyright.
  4. 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, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.[1] The image is used for non-profit purposes. This factor is noted as relevant by the Act.

  1. There is no alternative, public domain or free-copyrighted replacement available.
  2. Inclusion is for information, education and analysis only.
  3. Its inclusion in the article(s) adds significantly to the article(s) because it shows the subject, or the work of the subject, of the article(s).
  4. The image is a low resolution copy of the original work of such low quality that it would be unlikely to impact sales of the work.

The image, a self portrait, was a deliberately controlled promotional photo, and has been widely distributed since for promotional purposes.
