Purpose of use

for fair use on Reservoir Dogs

  1. No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject.
  2. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
  3. The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy.
  4. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
  5. The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
  6. The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
  7. The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the film itself.
  8. The image only serves to illustrate the characters in the film, as well as the iconic opening sequence, but since it is only a brief capture of a film, it does not replace the market role of the film itself.
  9. The image is used in the article namespace.
  10. The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.
Replaceable?

Not replaceable; film screenshots are usually presumed non-free.
