Removing the option of using nonfree images in living person articles creates a greater likelihood that free images will be made available, either through someone being encouraged to take a free image to use in the article, or encouraging editors to request permission for free licensing from others
151:
To say that a free equivalent "could be created" just because the person is alive is far from a straightforward interpretation of that sentence. Most people would take it to mean that creating the free equivalent must not be too difficult--not that it must be literally impossible. For example, it

The fair-use photos currently getting replaced are of high quality, often because of access most free photographs don't have. Quality concerns are not being taken into consideration and because of that the potential for fair use images to be replaced by free images that are clearly not of the same

Fair use images such as movie or television screenshots, magazine covers, and the like, are not freely replaceable. Although it may be possible to find free images that depict the person, those images will not depict them in context such as, for instance, their appearances on television that are

All images in a "for profit" version will have to go through a "rights clearance" process anyway. Images that are taken by
Wikipedians, and released under a free license will still have to be checked, and there is no guarantee that someone else will not claim a copyright for that image after

The concept centers around the idea that if a person is living, their image can be captured by a
Knowledge (XXG) photographer and released under a free license. This has led to the tagging of images of living people with a fair use license for deletion. This deletion process avoids votes for

may be more difficult to obtain a free use photo of a reclusive and transient person than it is to obtain a free use image of a dead person by begging every copyright holder. This is also not how we interpret policy in other areas; for instance,

This is a late entry, but I am fairly against the deletion of fair use images of living people. Knowledge (XXG) is an encyclopedia, not a piracy website that profits off of photographs of people. I see no reason to delete such images.

who have taken such images. If a nonfree image is already in the article and is likely to be allowed indefinitely, editors are not encouraged to take free images, nor are free-release permission requests likely to achieve success.

An encyclopedia containing images is more useful when visual guides are available. If you are looking for a person in a movie but only know what they look like, and what movie they appeared in, a visual encyclopedia is

Having only images with a free license will allow publishers in the future to provide a "for profit" version of
Knowledge (XXG) in print (but see objection below).

The copyright holder may allow
Knowledge (XXG) to use the image, thereby nullifying any claim that Knowledge (XXG) could face legal action for using the image.

Corporate logos, newspaper covers and magazine covers are also being used under fair use, and will have the same legal ramifications to any end user
