[edit] Fair use rationale for use in article A Kiss Before Dying (novel)

• Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the image.
• It is believed that this image will not devalue the ability of the copyright holder to profit from the original work, in fact, it may encourage sales.
• The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article and used in the infobox thereof.
• Image is needed for educational purposes only in relation to the subject it is discussing and to identify the film in crime literature.
• Image used for comment, reporting, and teaching qualifies as Fair Use.
• The image is significant because it was used to promoted a notable 1953 novel that was adapted by Hollywood executives twice: 1956 and 1991. The book was also an Edgar Award winner in 1954.
