[edit] Summary

Description: A screenshot of actors Kevin Spacey and Mena Suvari in American Beauty.
Source: © 1999 Dreamworks LLC. All Rights Reserved.

[edit] Licensing

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

This qualifies as fair use in the article American Beauty because: 1) it only copies minimally from the original work (the film) as it is an image from a single frame; 2) it is used in the transformative context of an informative article about the film to illustrate a key scene and its visual motif; 3) its use here has no possibility of competing with the commercial value of the film, particularly since this screenshot has already been widely distributed as a publicity still to advertise the film and accompany media reports about it.

This may additionally qualify as fair use in the article Mena Suvari because: reasons #1 and #3 above, and 2) it is used in the transformative context of an informative article about the actress to illustrate her most famous role and image in popular culture. Was being used to depict actor, not to provide critical commentary on movie. --Yamla 14:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC) Was a derogatory comment toward the nature of the original poster's comment.
