Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion as established by these terms of use. 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.

Fair use rationale[edit]

The image is used in the following Wikipedia articles:

• Astro (satellite TV)
• MEASAT
• 2006 in Malaysia

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use in Wikipedia is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a historically image specifically created to promote and publicize the Malaysia MEASAT-3 communications satellite.
2. There is no equivalent free replacement alternative of the image. The image is shows it orbiting over Malaysia - it is no real use outside of the context of Malaysia/Boeing satellites Wikipedia articles.
3. It is of much lower resolution (JPG lossy) than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality. It is unsuitable for use in printing (RGB).
4. The image is only being used for informational purposes.
5. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject(s) of the articles and the influence the subject matter has in Malaysian science and technology.
