Fair use for 'Scottsboro Boys' Article

[edit]

Though this image is from a web site subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. The web page says the author of that web site, a law professor, does not own the photo, has the permission of no one to use it and posts it himself under a "fair use" rationale.
  2. It is a photograph of historical figures who were very famous witnesses and alleged victims in a public court in the very famous Scottsboro Boys case whom this photo identifies.
  3. Both of the women in that photo have been dead for years.
  4. Author unknown. Found at http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/ftrials.htm
  5. The photo is being used for identification of the people it depicts, especially important to the article on the Scottsboro Boys that talks about the people in that photo extensively.
  6. The photo depicts the close relationship these two women when the case first started, which is important because they later took opposite stances in the case.
  7. The photo shows the bedraggled hobo dress of these women shortly after the initial arrests.
  8. This photo is for use in the article on the Scottsboro Boys in which case they were both very crucial figures.

The license would be fair-use for persons who are dead.

Description

[edit]
