[edit] Fair use rationale in Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean)

It is asserted that the limited use of this copyrighted image in the Wikipedia article on Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean) qualifies as a fair use of the image, for the following reasons:

It depicts a fictional subject (such as a character) that is copyrighted. It would be impossible to create a replacement image which would not be subject to the original author's copyright.
The image is only used to illustrate the fictional subject, and not to illustrate a non-fictional but related subject (such as the actor or illustrator).
The image substantially improves the article it is in.
The image is no larger, and of no higher quality, than required for its use in articles.
It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
It's use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder.
It's use on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.

[edit] Licensing

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents
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:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
