Permission (Reusing this file)	The photo has no copyright markings on it as can be seen in the links above. It can be dated by various events in the history of RCA and Jefferson Airplane. RCA began using a "block format" logo in 1968 as seen on the complete photo, and also began phasing out the "Nipper" dog trademark, restoring it again in 1976. Jefferson Airplane began the use of their own record label, Grunt, (still held by RCA) in 1971. Later publicity photos Example are listed as "Grunt Records-manufactured and distributed by RCA Records. Later publicity photos of Slick for her solo albums which were done under the RCA Records label Example are listed "RCA Records and Cassettes". When the photo for this file was taken, the music industry had not yet started to distribute music to any great extent, if at all, with this medium--vinyl records were the only way recorded music was sold. The photo for this file lists only "RCA Records".

The image was meant to bring attention and publicity for both the recording artist and the record label, the same as the publicity photos for actors and actresses in the film industry were intended to do. Film production expert Eve Light Honathaner in ''The Complete Film Production Handbook'', (Focal Press, 2001 p. 211.): :"Publicity photos (star headshots) have traditionally not been copyrighted. Since they are disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain, and therefore clearance by the studio that produced them is not necessary." ::"There is a vast body of photographs, including but not limited to publicity stills, that have no notice as to who may have created them." (''The Professional Photographer's Legal Handbook'' By Nancy E. Wolff, Allworth Communications, 2007, p. 55.) :[http://www.creativeclearance.com/guidelines.html#B1 Creative Clearance-Publicity photos] ::"Publicity Photos (star headshots) older publicity stills have usually not been copyrighted and since they have been disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain and therefore there is no necessity to clear them with the studio that produced them (if you can even determine who did)."
