[edit] Summary

Description: Low-resolution image of poster for the film Detour (1945), directed by Edgar G. Ulmer
Corporate author/original rights holder: Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC)
Source: Film Monthly

[edit] Licensing

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published in the United States without copyright notice prior to 1978, which causes the work to be irrevocably in the Public Domain. See Copyright.

[edit] Public domain explanation

• The image was published as an advertisement in the U.S. in 1945. There is no evidence that copyright notice was originally filed on the image, as then required. For instance, this image evidently shows the entire poster and no copyright notice.
• A search of copyright renewal records for 1972 and 1973 ([1], [2], [3], [4]) reveals no evidence that neither Eagle-Lion Films--the descendant corporation of PRC--nor any asignee renewed copyrights to this poster or any collection of posters or any collection of material that might encompass this poster as would have been required to maintain copyright protection, if any.
• There is no evidence that Eagle-Lion Films or any asignee claims copyright on the image.

[edit] Fair use in Film noir

If any evidence is disclosed to indicate that this image of a movie poster might be under copyright, it is claimed by Wikipedia editor DCGeist to be used under fair use for this article as:

1. it is a low-resolution reproduction (i.e., it could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork on another poster);
2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film or poster in any way;
3. it does not interfere with the copyright owner's ability to promote the film or poster in any way;
4. it is being used only for informational purposes; and
5. its inclusion adds significantly to the article because it illustrates (a) one of the most famous and critically celebrated of all Poverty Row film noirs, as discussed in the accompanying text and (b) the marketing of such movies during the historical period discussed in the accompanying text.
