File:Immaculate Basil.jpg

Summary[edit]

A Facebook photo of Immaculate Basil released by the Basil family. It is also available elsewhere online,[1] and has been used by news media throughout the case to depict Basil. As the subject appearance has been described as clean and introverted (a "home body"), the image provides illustration and representation of commentary within the article that could not be as accurately depicted in words.

Fair use rationale for Disappearance of Immaculate Basil article[edit]

Though this image is subject to copyright it is believed to be covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. the image was released to the media by the family to publicize the search;
2. the image is low resolution;
3. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to the image;
4. the image subject is missing/presumed dead and a free use version is unlikely to become available;
5. no free use photograph of the person is available
