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

1. it is a low-resolution copy of a TV movie advertisement;
2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell or promote the TV movie in any way;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork on another poster; and
4. the image contributes significantly to readers' understanding of the article's subject because it illustrates (a) a significant and representative TV B movie from the classic period of the form and (b) the marketing of such TV movies during that historical period as discussed in the accompanying text

This image is of a film 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 film posters to provide critical commentary on the film in question or of the film poster itself, not solely for illustration where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
