Poster for the Puerto Rican film, El Cimarrón.

1. For an article about a film, the original poster is arguably one of the most important images that could be included.
2. No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
3. The image is of lower resolution than the original poster (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
4. The poster is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.
5. The poster is used on various websites, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.
6. The poster's use on Wikipedia is entirely encyclopedic in nature.

Though this image is subject to copyright I (Thief12 02:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film in any way;
2. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the film on another medium;
3. the image helps to demonstrate the description of the album in its article El Cimarrón.

This image is of a film poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher or the creator of the work depicted. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of film posters to provide critical commentary on the film in question or of the film poster itself, not solely for illustration where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
