[edit] Rationale of fair use for Blue Gate Crossing

The image Blue Gate Crossing film.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (*drew) feel it is covered by fair use because:

No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
The image is of lower resolution than the original cover (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the film in any way.
For an article about a film, the promotional artwork is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. This is the artwork intended for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
Its inclusion in the article is important because it suggests something of the film's style.
This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.

This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of video covers

to illustrate the videotape in question
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 described on Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
