Article

Corporals killings

Portion used

Whole photograph

Low resolution?

Yes

Purpose of use

To illustrate the historical importance and severity of the killings, in particular the claim for them to be the "most dramatic and harrowing" in The Troubles as outlined in the lead.

Replaceable?

The source states that the photographer was the only person witnessed for photographing the event. No free alternatives can therefore possibly come forward

Other information

The use of the photograph does not impact the value of the original work or limit the rights of the photographer, primarily because it has a low resolution

Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Corporals killingshttps://infogalactic.com/info/File:MILLTOWN_PRIEST_DC_1_copy.jpg

I contend that the use of this low-resolution copy of a historical photo to illustrate the article on the event the photo depicts conforms with wikipedia fair-use rules. No opportunity now exists to prepare a free version. --John (talk) 19:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
