File:Waterloo Bridge (1931 film).jpeg

Low-res movie poster used solely to illustrate article on Waterloo Bridge 1931 (film); fair use claimed.

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.

Fair use true

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

1. The screenshot is of lower resolution and quality than the original video (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
2. No free or public domain images have been located for this content.
3. The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the show or DVDs in any way.
4. The screenshot is intended to represent the nature of the show. Its inclusion in the article is important as an example of an element specifically detailed in the article.
5. The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original show or DVD in any way.

1. Derived from a digital capture from the film discussed in this article (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 record company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
