File:Garry Shider Live from Houston.jpg

Summary[edit]

Fair Use Rationale[edit]

I believe this qualifies as fair use for the following reasons:

• It shows Shider in his prime and wearing his trademark diaper
• It in no way infringes upon P-Funk's rights to the song
• It in no way detriments or detracts from the record label and all the other owner's rights
• Concert footage
• The image was taken from a concert, the audio from which was later integrated into this album, so it is tantamount to a music video.
• This and other videos from this concert have been on YouTube for long periods of time with no objection from P-Funk, so they apparently have no problem with parts of the concert being available.
• Neither the record label that produced the concert, Capitol, nor the record label the song was released upon, Casablanca, have objected either.
• This performance was part of the larger P-Funk Earth Tour and provides a critical perspective on what the tour as a whole consisted of.
• Shider only seemed to wear the diaper during concerts and in private, so obtaining a picture of him wearing one would involve similar copyright issues.

Licensing[edit]

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted music video or promotional video for a music artist, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the producers of the video and possibly also by the music artist. It is believed that the use of a limited number of low-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the music video 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 the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
