File:LandMaster4x4.png

This media was proposed for deletion as a replaceable non-free content. It was reviewed by an administrative user, or another user, who declined the deletion, judging that no adequate free-licensed file exists or can be created to fulfill the limited role performed by this file at the time deletion was considered. However, this file may be replaceable by a free file in other contexts, and in such cases the free file must take precedence. A discussion of this decision may exist on the file talk page.

This template is for proposed files only. For non-proposed files, use {{Do not replace-F7}} instead.

An image of the British Land Master 4×4 with the background remove for illustrative purposes.

From the Advertising poster 1977.

Fair use for Land Master

This image is being linked on the above page; though the picture is subject to copyright. I (MJBurrage) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution copy of the promotional material;
it does not limit the copyright owner’s rights to sell the subject of the promotional material, nor original copies of the promotional material itself, in any way;
a free image would be all but impossible to obtain, as the only two vehicles known to still exist are in the hands of private collectors.

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question;
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it;
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation;

qualifies as fair use under Copyright law of the United States. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Warning sign

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale must be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.
