Some people find it easier to understand the concept of fair use from what is not fair use. Here are a few examples of uses that would almost certainly not be acceptable as fair use:
1.An article containing one or more unattributed pieces of text from a copyrighted source. 2.An image of a rose, cropped from an image of a record album jacket, used to illustrate an article on roses. 3.A detailed map, scanned from a copyrighted atlas, used in an article about the region depicted. The only context in which this might be fair use is if the map itself was a topic of a passage in the article: for example, a controversial map of a disputed territory might be fair use. 4.A work of art, not so famous as to be iconic, whose theme happens to be the Spanish Civil War, to illustrate an article on the war. (However, because of its iconic status, it is presumably Fair Use where we have a small image of Picasso's Guernica in the article Bombing of Guernica.) 5.A photo from a press agency (e.g. Reuters, AP), not so famous as to be iconic, to illustrate an article on the subject of the photo. If photos are themselves newsworthy (e.g. a photo of equivalent notoriety as the Muhammad cartoons newspaper scan), low resolution versions of the photos may be fair use in related articles. 6.An image of a Barry Bonds baseball card, to illustrate the article on Barry Bonds. A sports card image is a legitimate fair use if it is used only to illustrate the article (or an article section) whose topic is the card itself; see the Honus Wagner article. 7.An image of a magazine cover, used only to illustrate the article on the person whose photograph is on the cover. However, if that magazine issue itself is notable enough to be a topic within the article, then fair use may apply. An image found on the Internet whose original source is unknown and that happens to contain the subject.
The image itself is certainly iconic, see [1], and also for information, photos taken during thie same PR recce mission showing the same tank tracks adorn the VIP entrance at Vayu Bhavan (IAF House), New Delhi. The image is certainly descriptive of the article in question, I don't see why this is getting so drawn out. By xyzzy's argument, no photograph from this mission would qualify as fair use because he disagrees. I think this is unfair.- ranam
