[edit] Fair use rationale for use in the article Cinematograph

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

1. It is a historically significant photo the cinématographe Lumière in filming mode..
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it is the object of discussion in the article.
5. Because the image depicts a non-reproducible historic event, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
