File:Jean Virginia Sampare.png

Summary edit

A derivative of a high school photo of Jean Virginia Sampare released by the Sampare family. It is also available elsewhere online,[1] and has been used by news media throughout the case to depict Sampare. As the subject's appearance has not been described in any written public forum, the image provides illustration and representation of Sampare's appearance that could not be as accurately depicted in words.

Fair use rationale for Disappearance of Jean Virginia Sampare 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
