[edit] Summary

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a film poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the film or the studio which produced the film in question. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of film posters

to illustrate the film in question or to provide critical analysis of the poster content or artwork
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 for The Jazz Singer (1927 film)

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

it is a low-resolution copy of a movie poster of one of the most significant films in history;
it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film or poster in any way;
copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork on another poster; and
the image is significant because it illustrates the article subject and its marketing.
