[edit] Public domain explanation

  • The image was published as an advertisement in the U.S. in 1947. 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 1974 and 1975 ([1], [2], [3], [4]) reveals no evidence that Warner Bros. 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 Warner Bros. 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 representative and significant example of a crossover film noir/Western, as discussed in the accompanying text.
