[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Empire of the Wolves
Description	Theatrical poster for Empire of the Wolves
Source	Film is copyright 2005 by Gaumont Film Company
Article	Empire of the Wolves
Portion used	Because the image is a film poster, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	For fair use on Empire of the Wolves: The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. It is used for identification and critical commentary of the work for which it was created. (The article actually contains critical commentary of the poster.) It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the artist's providing graphic design services to cinema concerns and in turn marketing films to the public.
Replaceable?	As movie poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the images from the movie poster would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the movie poster in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

[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.
