[edit] Non-free / fair use media rationale for The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film)

For an article about a film, the original theatrical advertisement poster is one of the most important images that could be included. Various posters and advertisements have been produced over the years to promote this film, however this is the original artwork, intended by 20th Century Fox for wide distribution.

It is believed the use of this image in the article The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film) is covered by the "fair use" legal doctrine because:

This image is being used to illustrate the film which is the topic of this article.
It's use in Wikipedia is for nonprofit educational purposes only and does not detract from the original work.
It is of much lower resolution than the original poster (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.
No free or public domain images have been located for this film poster.

[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.
