Rationale for Muhammad al-Durrah incident
Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:
- It is an historically significant and iconic image.
- It is of lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
- The image has no monetary value that our use of it would affect.
- It has been widely distributed free of charge by the copyright holder.
- It is being used for informational purposes in an article about the event it depicts.
- The imagery and its historical significance are a key part of the story and the article would be significantly poorer without it.
- This particular image was chosen for the infobox because it became the most iconic of all the frames from the France 2 footage, the fear apparent on the boy's face and the father gripping his arm.
