[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.

[edit] Fair use for Ran (film)

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

1. This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, which describes the destruction of Hidetora's castle, and is arguably the most famous scene in the entire film.
2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the film in any way;
3. 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.
4. The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the film.
5. No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
