[edit] Fair use rationale for 300 (film)

It is believed that this image, 300 comparison.jpg, is subject to fair use in the article 300 (film) because:

[edit] Screenshot rationale

This image illustrates the text next to which it appears.
It is of much lower resolution than the original (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.
This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
No free or public domain images have been located for this item as of yet.

[edit] Promotional behind the scenes image

This is a promotional shot for the movie in question.
Its use here is entirely encyclopedic.
Its use here does not in any way limit the copyright owners ability to sell or market this product.

[edit] Licensing

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents
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 described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
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 usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

[edit] Fair use rationale for 300 (film)

This is an image from the website by Warner Bros intended to promote the film. It was made to explain the film's production, and thus is allowed for use in Wikipedia under the belief it is for an encyclopedic illustration of the film's production.
