File:One Tree Hill 5 Poster.jpg

One Tree Hill Season 5 promotional poster.

Although this image is subject to copyright, I feel that its use in One Tree Hill (season 5) and articles mentioning One Tree Hill is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is being used for informational purposes only;
2. It is a promotional poster for which no equivalent free alternative exists or could be created without infringing on copyright;
3. It does not infringe upon the original copyright holder's ability to profit from the media; and
4. It contributes significantly to the article in which it is used by identifying its subject.
5. It was created by The CW, One Tree Hill's official channel, to promote One Tree Hill

This image is of a 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 posters to provide critical commentary on the film, event, etc. in question or of the poster itself, not solely for illustration 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.
