Fair Use Rationale

Although this image, Mountbatten_4_august_1947.jpg, may be subject to copyright, I ( Fowler&fowler «Talk» 16:15, 26 April 2007 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. it is a low resolution copy of the original;
  2. the image is significant because it is of one of the most famous images of the partition of British India.
  3. the image is not available in the public domain.
  4. the image being used only in the wikipedia page Partition of India and is being used only for educational reasons and not for profit;
Copyrighted This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips.

  • To illustrate the subject in question
