Summary

http://www.seamusonline.org/max.html It is a historically significant photo of a famous individual.

It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality)

The photo is only being used for informational purposes.

Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article.

The photo was part of a press release, widely circulated in the public domain through news articles appearing in national newspapers. Dr.K. 08:10, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Licensing

This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977 inclusive, without a copyright notice. Unless the author has been dead for several years, it is not in the public domain in countries that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works. This includes Canada, China (not Hong Kong, Macao, or Taiwan Area), Germany, Mexico, Switzerland, and other countries with individual treaties. See also further explanation.

This photograph of Max Mathews was widely distributed for reproduction and publicity prior to 1978. It did not include a copyright notice at the time, and no application for extension of a copyright is on record, and so it is considered to be in the public domain. There is no visible copyright symbol on the picture. In the unlikely case this rationale fails please see below:

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:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question;
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it;
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation;

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.

Fair use true

To the uploader:

Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.
This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media.
Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.
Template:Non-free use rationale may be helpful for stating the rationale.
