[edit] Summary

Description: Low-resolution image of advertisement for The California Kid (1974), an ABC Movie of the Week, featuring star Martin Sheen
Copyright holder: American Broadcasting Company
Source: Scan from private collection

[edit] Fair use for B movies (The exploitation boom)

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:

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

[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.
