[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Beowulf & Grendel
Description	poster for Beowulf & Grendel
Source	www.canmag.com/news/4/3/3174 Publicity material from movie distributor © 2006 Sturla Gunnarsson
Article	Beowulf & Grendel
Portion used	film poster
Low resolution?
Purpose of use	Publicity material from movie distributor for fair use on Beowulf & Grendel This image is a low-resolution image of a movie poster This image does not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original source, nor will it dilute the importance or recognition of the film in connection with its organization. This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone. Use of the poster image visually identifies the film in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.
Replaceable?	Not replaceable; publicity posters are always presumed non-free.

[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.

[edit] Fair use for Gerard Butler

This image, Beowulf2.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution copy of a movie poster;
it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the movie in any way;
copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the poster artwork on another poster.
