Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Animosity (band)
Description	The promotional photo of the rock band Animosity
Source	Animosity
Article	Animosity (band)
Portion used	The entire photo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Low resolution?	The photo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
Purpose of use	The image is used to identify the disbanded music group Animosity, a subject of public interest. The significance of the image is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.
Replaceable?	Because it is a logo and a photo of a disbanded group, there is no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
