| Description |
This image is an image of the subject Brendan Burke, submitted by the Burke family to ESPN. It depicts the subject in 2007 next to the Stanley Cup. |
|---|---|
| Source |
This particular digitization of the image was captured from the 2010 ESPN article 'We love you, this won't change a thing' (direct image location: http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2009/1124/nhl_brandon_burke_300.jpg); the original is credited to the Burke family in the article. The use of the subject image is unlikely to have a substantial effect upon the potential market for this image. Claimed as fair use. |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The image is needed to identify the subject. |
| Low resolution? |
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but presumably lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable for uses that would compete with any commercial purpose of the photograph. |
| Purpose of use |
The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the person it depicts, namely Brendan Burke, visually depicting the subject as well as conveying the context of the subject's historical significance (the sport hockey). It thus provides a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed at the beginning of the article discussing the subject, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. The image confirms to readers they have reached the correct article, and illustrates the intended branding message. |
| Replaceable? |
Because the image depicts a non-reproducible deceased subject, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary. |
| Other information |
Use of the historic image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. |

Licensing edit
 | This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free 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. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy). |
