Licensing

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted music video or promotional video for a music artist, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the producers of the video and possibly also by the music artist. It is believed that the use of a limited number of low-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the music video in question where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Fair use true

Rationale for fair use in article

The Beautiful People (Marilyn Manson song)

The image Image:54beautiful people.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (keepsleeping sleeper cell 23:09, 25 December 2005 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The image is a screenshot from a promotional music video originally created by nothing Records / Interscope Records, and intended for wide distribution.
2. The screenshot is of lower resolution and quality than the original video (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
3. The screenshot depicts a particular piece of costume apparel worn by Marilyn Manson in the music video for "The Beautiful People", which is specifically discussed in the article.
4. No free or public domain images have been located of this subject.
5. The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single or music video in any way.
6. The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single or music video in any way.
