[edit] Fair use in Chicago (musical)

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

1. It's a low resolution copy of a theatrical poster designed as a promotional tool of this record-setting musical revival.
2. It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
3. Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork/image.
4. The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.
5. The image is significant because it was used to promote a notable musical and no free alternative is available.

[edit] Fair use in Musical theatre

Image was removed from this article at 18:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC) by Papa November after the following concern was raised: Rationale for fair use in Musical theatre is disputed per WP:NFCC#8. Removal of this copyrighted image from that article would not cause detriment to reader's understanding of the topic Musical theatre.

The following fair use rationale was considered inadequate:

• This image is a theatrical poster designed as a promotional tool and is being used to illustrate the article on Musical theatre.
• It is used for informational or educational purposes only.
• This image is of low resolution.
• The use of this image will not devalue the ability of the copyright holder to profit from the original work.
• This is an iconic image of an important musical discussed in this section of the article in which it is used. It is needed to illustrate the Musical theatre article.

[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.
