[edit] Fair use for Ran (film)

This image, Ran storyboards.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Palm_Dogg) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It illustrates the section it appears in, which is a discussion of the production of the film. It provides a partial visual confirmation of an allegation in the article, namely that Kurosawa painted Ran's storyboards.
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the film in any way;
The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the film.
No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
