[edit] Fair use rationale for The Lives of Others

This image, The Lives of Others (poster).gif, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (kollision) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the film itself.
2. No free or public domain alternatives are available that would adequately give the same information.
3. This image is widely distributed in other venues, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
4. The image is of lower resolution than the original poster.
5. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the single or music video in any way.
6. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
7. The image is being used for informational purposes only.
8. The image is used in the article namespace.
9. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
10. The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
11. The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.

[edit] Licensing

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. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
