Summary
Ötzi the Iceman, a well-preserved natural mummy of a Chalcolithic (Copper Age) man from about 3300 BC, who was found in 1991 in the Schnalstal glacier in the Ötztal Alps, near Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy. From the website http://www.rolf-tiemann.de/oetzi/oetzi.htm.

Licensing and fair use justification
It is submitted that use of the image in the article "Ötzi the Iceman" is fair under U.S. copyright law, and the laws of other jurisdictions where applicable, for the following reasons:


 * The image is not replaceable. It is a photograph of Ötzi shortly after the discovery of the body in September 1991, when it was still frozen in the glacier and had not yet been removed, and is therefore an image of an unrepeatable event.
 * Ötzi is now housed at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy. For preservation reasons, it is highly unlikely that visitors to the museum will be permitted to take photographs of the body. Therefore, it is also unlikely that an image which does not rely on the doctrine of fair use is easily obtainable.
 * The image is small and of a low resolution.
 * Use of the image in the article is unlikely to impair the sale of the original, high-quality photograph.
