[edit] Fair use in Rainbow (1996 film)

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

1. The image is of lower resolution than the original poster (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
2. It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
3. For an article about a film, the original poster is arguably one of the most important images that could be included.
4. The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.
5. The poster is intended to provide an illustration for a well-known and significant film, and the purpose of the poster is to suggest something of the film's style.
6. The DVD cover's use on Wikipedia is entirely encyclopedic in nature.
7. The DVD cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.
8. The DVD cover is used on various websites, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.

[edit] Source

1. Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the DVD cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the film companies. Claimed as fair use regardless.

[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.
