[edit] Summary

Scanned image of the original poster for Roger Corman's The Pit and the Pendulum.

[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.

[edit] Fair use for The Pit and the Pendulum (1961 film)

This image, PitPoster.jpg, is being linked here; although the picture is subject to copyright I (Hal Raglan) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, which describes the film in question for which it promotes.
It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
No free or public domain images have been located for this item.-Hal Raglan 04:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
