It is believed the use of this image in the article The Damned (1962 film) is covered by the "fair use" legal doctrine because:

• This image is being used to illustrate the film which is the topic of this article.

• Its use in Wikipedia is for nonprofit educational purposes only and does not detract from the original work.

• It is of much lower resolution than the original poster (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).

• It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.

• No free or public domain images have been located for this film poster.

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.
