[edit] Fair use for Baltic Way

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

it is a historically significant photo of a famous event;
no free alternatives could be obtained or made;
the original resolution was reduced to 40% (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality);
the photo is only being used for informational and educational purposes;
its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and illustrates:
- how many people participated in the event
- the logistics: free bus rides and cars parked along the roads
- the peacefulness of the protest. Renata 17:07, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
