[edit] Fair use in Pulp Fiction (film)

The image linked here is claimed by Wikipedia editor DCGeist to be used under fair use as:

1. it is a screenshot from a historically significant film;
2. it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality);
3. the photo is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because, as detailed in the article's text, it illustrates the much-discussed MacGuffin and the comparison between it and a similar case and image in the film Kiss Me Deadly.

[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.
