Justification for Fair Use

edit

The four factors: Transformative factor:

  • The original use of the image was to document the condition of the Mars Platform after Hurricane Katrina. The use of the image at World's tallest structures is to juxtapose the height of the platform as undamaged to the height of the platform as damaged. This is clearly transformative.

Nature of work factor:

  • The original purpose of the image was obviously to depict a factual situation, and has no artistic merit.

Amount and substantiality factor:

  • The image was part of a larger work, and the image itself was supportive of a textual description.

Effect of use on market factor:

  • The effect on the market is negligible because:
    • the image is dated material;
    • the image is freely available in several locations;
    • the image does not depict a product or service which is for sale/is profitable.

See [4] for information on fair-use justifications.
