[edit] Summary

This is a scanned image of the Criterion Collection DVD cover for the film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (film).

[edit] Rationales of fair use

The use of this image in the article Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (film) is fair use because:

1. The image appears in a section of the articles that offers critical commentary on the DVD and its artwork.
2. It is not practical to convey a visual image about the DVD and its cover artwork without using the DVD cover, therefore, this is a non-replaceable image.
3. The image is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be inferior).
4. It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
5. The image does not inhibit sales of the DVD, VHS, or posters for the film.
6. The image does not impede the licensing of the film.
7. The image does no damage to the image or quality of the film. In fact its use exactly fits the purpose of a movie poster or VHS/DVD cover, which is promoting the film.
8. The image is used on other websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make any more accessible than it already is.

[edit] Licensing

This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of video covers to illustrate the videotape in question 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:Fair use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
