Film poster for Monte Hellman's The Shooting

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.

Fair use true

This image, ShootingHellman.jpg, is being linked here; although the picture is subject to copyright I (Hal Raglan) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws in The Shooting article because:

1. The film's distribution history is discussed in detail in the article and its important to provide illustration for the reader of one distributor's attempt to publicize the title.
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
4. This image is used on numerous websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
5. No free or public domain images have been located for this item.--Hal Raglan 19:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
