[edit] Rationale For Fair Use

The image Coachcarterashanti.jpg is being linked to the acting career portion of the Ashanti Douglas wikipage because:

No free or public domain images have been located for this film. While a public domain image has been located for the subject of the article, it does not adequately illustrate major points in the subject's career that are discussed in the article.
The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the film in any way.
The image is a screenshot from a promotional video intended by Paramount Pictures for wide distribution.
The screenshot is intended to represent the subject in her most well-received acting role. Its inclusion in the article is important because it represents a significant point in the subject's career that is discussed in the article. This film was praised by most critics upon its release. This is also the subject's first feature film role.
The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.

[edit] Licensing

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.
