Al_Jolson_Jazz_Singer.JPG‎ (355 × 270 pixel, file size: 26 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Al Jolson as Jack Robin, in blackface, performing "My Mammy" in The Jazz Singer (1927). Source/copyright holder: Warner Bros.

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.

[edit] Fair use in The Jazz Singer (1927 film)

The image linked here is claimed by Wikipedia editor DCGeist to be used under fair use as:

it is a screenshot from a historically significant film;
it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality);
the image is being used only for informational purposes; and
its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it illustrates the star of the movie and a crucial scene in it, with Jolson's famous appearance in blackface.
