[edit] Summary

In-progress photograph of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Associated Press photographer James "Ike" Altgens. Kennedy is seen through the windshield (behind the rear-view mirror) with his hands near his throat, and with Jackie Kennedy's gloved hand on his left arm. Directly behind the limousine from this angle is the main entrance to the Texas School Book Depository; many people believe Lee Harvey Oswald stands there, while investigations identified him as Depository employee Billy Lovelady.

[edit] Fair Use for Ike Altgens

The image Image:Altgens1.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Radio Kirk talk to me 23:39, 4 May 2006 (UTC)) believe this image is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a copy of a photograph released by the Associated Press for dissemination in accompaniment of a major news story;
It is one of the most widely disseminated and reproduced photographs of a news event in US and global history;
No free or public domain images have been located for this purpose; and
Reproduction of the image is not believed to limit the copyright owners' rights in any way.

[edit] Licensing

This image is a faithful digitalization of a unique historic photograph, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the photographer who took the photograph or the agency employing the photographer. It is believed that the use of this photograph

to illustrate the event in question where:
The photograph depicts a non-reproducible historic event, and no free alternative exists or can be created, and
The image is low resolution and of no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of an article, and the use of the image on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

If this does not accurately describe this image, please remove this tag and provide a different fair use rationale.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
