[edit] Fair use for use in article The Big Combo

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

It's a low resolution copy of a Film Poster.
It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork/image.
The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.
The image is significant because it was used to promoted a notable film.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher or the creator of the work depicted. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of posters

to provide critical commentary on the film, event, etc. in question or of the poster itself, not solely for illustration
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:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
