This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free 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. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy). | |||

Fair-use rationale for use in 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 a significant image, and has been presented in evidence at two court cases in Paris.
- The image has no monetary value that our use of it would affect.
- It has been made available free of charge by the copyright holder.
- It is being used for informational purposes in an article about the event it depicts.
- We have no reason to believe the copyright holder would object.
- The imagery and its historical significance are a key part of the story and the article would be significantly poorer without it.
- A French ballistics expert commissioned by Philippe Karsenty presented a diagram to the Paris Court of Appeal in 2008. It included a position called the "pita", in which several sources say Palestinian police officers stood, armed with automatic rifles.[1] This position does not appear on the France 2 cameraman's diagram in this image, which marks that area as "Fields". This is a crucial point. It's therefore important to show both diagrams side by side.
