[edit] Fair use rationale in Mayerling (1936 film)

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

1. It's a low resolution copy of a Film Poster / VHS or DVD Cover.
2. It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
3. Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork/image.
4. The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.
5. The image is significant because it was used to promoted a notable film.
6. The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial.
7. The sole purpose of this use of the copyrighted image is to illustrate the videotape or DVD in question.
8. Said image is the primary means of visual identification of the main topic of the article; that is, the work that is distributed via the video media.
9. The image is used only once in the article, and is used in a section or "information box" that is neutral in tone.
10. The cover of the media is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the media.
11. The market for the original videotape product will not be diminished by this use of the image. In fact, this use is likely to encourage the increased legitimate sales of said videos.
12. Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the video cover, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy (the re-printing of covers to accompany pirated discs), or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or poster on its own.
13. Since it is copyrighted video art, the image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
14. Digital versions of this image have been previously published on numerous websites, so this use on Wikipedia does not make the image significantly more accessible.
15. The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is produced, sponsored, or authorized by the owner of the image.

[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.
