[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale – non-free film cover – for Shelter (2007 film)
Description	This is the cover art for Shelter. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the film, here! Films Regent Releasing (US), or the publisher of the film.
Source	The cover art can or could be obtained from here! Films Regent Releasing (US)
Article	Shelter (2007 film)
Portion used	The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone.The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services to film concerns and in turn marketing films to the public.
Replaceable?	As film cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the film would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

  1. The image is necessary and standard to display the film as a whole for the lead-in infobox.
  2. It is not practical to convey a visual image about the film without using the movie poster, therefore, this is a non-replaceable image.
  3. The image is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be inferior).
  4. The image does not inhibit sales of the DVD or posters for the film.
  5. The image does not impede the licensing of the film.
  6. The image does no damage to the image or quality of the film. In fact its use exactly fits the purpose of a movie poster, promoting the film.
  7. The image is used on many websites, such as , so its use on Wikipedia does not make any more accessible than it already is.

[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.
