This work is copyrighted (or assumed to be 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, and it is not covered by a more specific non-free content license listed at Category:Wikipedia non-free file copyright templates. However, it is believed that the use of this work:
- To illustrate the subject in question
- Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
- 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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.
Rationale for fair use:
- This is the only existing picture taken of a past event, thus no free image can be created.
- The event is both rare and important -- a natural disaster hitting a major city.
- Most of the picture has been cropped, only the necessary part relevant to the article is used.
- The limited use does not detract from the photographer's ability to profit from his work.
- If anything, use of this partial photograph would only increase the value of his work.
