Summary
[edit]
| Description |
promotional picture of band, c. 1971 |
|---|---|
| Source |
Band's own website, originally Dawn Records, long since defunct. |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
all, as a lesser position would be inadequate |
| Low resolution? |
yes, and there is no realistic possibility of infringing commercial opportunities here |
| Purpose of use |
as illustration and recognition; those readers unfamiliar with early 1970s prog/acid/folk music will be edified by the ethos depicted in the image. |
| Replaceable? |
not replaceable as no copyright-free images of this band are known to exist. In particular, the non-free content requirement that "images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable" is of no application here, since this image shows these people at the time when they achieved notability, and any later image would not achieve the same purpose. Also, there are few images of the band collectively, and cannot be replaced by individual images, since none are known to exist. |
| Other information |
The band was originally notable nearly 40 years ago; although they have recently reformed, to a limited extent, it will not be possible to express their original image without using this fair-use image. |
