Summary[edit]

Fair use Rationale for Clayton Hartwig for use in USS Iowa turret explosion[edit]

• It in no way infringes or assists in the illegal reproduction or distribution of the content of the event, goods or services being advertised;

• It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the event, goods or services in any way;

• The image is of small size and inferior quality/resolution, so that attempts to make illegal print copies of the poster artwork would be useless;

• The image is being used strictly for informational and/or educational purposes;

• It furthers the goals of providing verifiable information concerning the subject matter, in that it visibly demonstrates content which is referenced explicitly or implicitly within the text of the article itself.

• No free images have been found of the subject.

• Clayton Hartwig is central to the controversy described in the article "USS Iowa turret explosion", therefore it is believed that an image of Hartwig is of educational benefit to readers.

• The first United States Navy investigation into the turret explosion blamed Clayton Hartwig for intentionally causing the explosion. Supporting the Navy's conclusion was an "equivocal death analysis" prepared by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation stating the Hartwig was likely the culprit. After an independent review of the Navy's investigation by Sandia National Laboratories cast grave doubts on the Navy's conclusion, the Navy decided that it could not determine what had caused the explosion and apologized to Hartwig's family. Hartwig's family sued the United States government for emotional distress, but the suit was dismissed.
