Comment: I'm sorry but the image seems to be available under the ESA Standard License which due to its non commerciality clause is not compatible with our free licenses here. Where could it be inferred that this image is available under the terms of another author and B that that author agreed to release it under the given license? Kind regards, Squawk7700 (talk) 01:26, 8 July 2026 (UTC)reply
Comment: Sorry me again: my first comment was not really insightful/ helpful at all - sorry for that. While we always try to assume good faith on wikipedia we unfortunately can't trust anonymous editors to be who they claim and have the right to release images under the license they are telling us, since these things have legal implications. Since the image is not yet under the right license on the website you supplied you would have to donate the image under another license. Please read through Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for how to do that. Sorry again and best regards, Squawk7700 (talk) 21:27, 4 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Official Match Post of 2024 Chinese FA Super Cup

[edit]


Non-free media information and use rationale true for 2024 Chinese FA Super Cup
Description

Official match poster of 2024 Chinese FA Super Cup. The post art copyright is believed to belong to CFA.

Source

https://q0.itc.cn/q_70/images03/20240221/04e3429dfa4747289da6ab93b99cc86f.jpeg

Article

2024 Chinese FA Super Cup

Portion used

The entire poster. Because the image is a post, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original post. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as poster art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the post creator's ability to provide poster design services and in turn marketing poster to the public.

Replaceable?

As a Poster, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the book would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image in the infobox would be misleading as to the identity of the work. Any derivative work based upon the cover art would be a copyright violation, so creation of a free image is not possible.

Other information

The use of the poster will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the poster.
