[edit] Fair use in The Squid and the Whale

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the film, as the only other image in the article is only indirectly related to the film.
It is in low resolution, and thus is not suitable for the potential production of counterfeit goods.
The poster is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the poster.
It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image.

[edit] Source

Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the Film Poster/ VHS or DVD Cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the film company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

[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.
