[edit] Fair use rationale for use in article Inter@ctive Pager

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

The copy of the image is low-resolution and will not produce high-quality copies of the art for illegal duplication. The quality is high enough to clearly present the image and to place the subject represented by the image in a good light.
The use of the image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to gain commercially from the work.
It illustrates educational articles about the subject represented by the image.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value. A free image could not be created to replace it without itself being a derivative work.
The image has been published outside Wikipedia.
The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
The image is used in the articles wiki-linked in the section title.
The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the film itself.
The image is used in the article namespace.
The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.

[edit] Licensing

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
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 usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.
