[edit] Rationale of fair use

It is believed that the use of the image in the article, Police Story (film), qualifies as fair use because:

The image is a screenshot from the DVD release intended for wide distribution.
The screenshot is of lower resolution than the original film (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the film in any way.
The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.
It is being used to illustrate the section of the article that mentions the work.

Furthermore, it is believed that the use of this image in the article, Jackie Chan, qualifies for fair use for all the reasons above, plus:

It is not being used as a primary means of identifying the subject of the article.

[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

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.
