FAIR USE --- RATIONALE

  • No free equivalent - Non-free content is allowed to be used where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose - as is the case with this photo.
  • Respect for commercial opportunities - Non-free content is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media. Using this image does not do that as this image is not for sale independently. If anything it increases the chances that someone may see it, and gain interest in the life and work of the photographer, which could bring commercial opportunities for his heirs (he is deceased).
  • Minimal extent of use - Only 1 photo from this photographer is used.
  • Previous publication - Published in the stated sources and included in nearly every book about Che Guevara.
  • Content - It meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic in reference to an image that has been proclaimed one of the "10 photographs that changed the world" Article.
  • One-article minimum - Only article this image is used in and its presence significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, with its omission being detrimental to that understanding.
