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. 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. Fair use //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Otracw1.gif true

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a low resolution copy of an old publicity photo from a now-defunct neo-Nazi group.
2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the said image.
3. The image is significant for the article as it allows identification of subject.
4. The image is irreplaceable as subject is now geriatric; the image is unrepeatable.
5. Subject is a neo-Nazi who is both elderly and reclusive, which makes acquisition of a free image difficult or impossible.
6. Subject rarely makes personal appearances or allows himself to be photographed or recorded, which makes acquisition of a free image difficult or impossible.
7. Subject is under indictment in Switzerland, which makes acquisition of a free image difficult or impossible.
8. No free or public domain images have been located of this person or from this series.
9. Image is a promotional photograph, intended for wide distribution as publicity for the network.
10. Such photos are distributed for reuse by the media with implicit license for their use in discussing the subject that is being promoted.
11. Image is of considerably lower resolution than the original, and is used for informational purposes only. Its use does not detract from either the original photograph, or from the now-defunct neo-Nazi group itself.
12. Image is used solely for the identification of the subject.
13. The further use of this image on Wikipedia is not believed to disadvantage the copyright holder in any way.
14. This is an historical photograph.

This was specifically created to Carto's neo-Nazi activities. Industry standard is that such images may be used for commercial purposes in illustration. This is an image that is useful and has no available free substitute. Fair use images can be distributed freely. Yakuman (数え役満) 06:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
