Fair use for B movie

[edit]

This image is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (DCGeist) believe it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. it is a low-resolution copy of a movie poster;
  2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film or poster in any way;
  3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork on another poster; and
  4. the image adds significantly to the article because it illustrates (a) a significant and representative 1970s B movie by filmmakers who would go onto renown in other forms of the medium and (b) the marketing of such movies during the historical period in question as discused in the accompanying text

  1. This image illustrates how the film Piranha was promoted during its original US theatrical distribution.

  4. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
