[edit] Fair use in Hardware Wars

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

It illustrates an educational article about the film from which the screenshot was taken.
The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, and provides vital visual information about the film's characters and the film's visual style of direction.
The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the film.
It is a low resolution image.
The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
The film is copyrighted, and so the screenshot is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents
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:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
