[edit] Fair use in Laotian Civil War

Though this image is probably a subject to copyright, its use is covered by the fair use laws because:

It's a low resolution copy of an old Cuban communist poster.
It is not clear if the poster is still copyrighted.
It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the poster in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork/image.

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.
