[edit] Fair use rationale for Frankenstein (1931 film)

  1. For an article about a film, the original poster is arguably one of the most important images that could be included.
  2. No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
  3. The image is of lower resolution than the original poster (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
  4. The poster is to suggest something of the film's genre and style.
  5. The poster is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.
  6. The poster is used on various websites, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.
  7. The poster's use on Wikipedia is entirely encyclopedic in nature.
