[edit] Summary

Movie poster of HP1 (film), copyright of Warner Bros.

[edit] Licensing

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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Lord Voldemort

This image, Voldemort in Movie 1.JPG, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. No free alternative can exist given the likeness of Voldemort is a trademark and thus protected;
2. It is a low resolution copy of a movie poster;
3. The image was released to the media to promote the movie in querstion, Harry Potter 1;
4. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the book or the movie in any way;
5. Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of it, because it is too low-resolution;
6. As JK Rowling refrains from depicting Voldemort in her books, no original pix are possible, but a picture of his movie version would greatly enhance the article
7. it shows Voldemort in his disembodied form, thus visually depicting what is said in the corresponding section; the scene is the climax of the 1st HP movie
8. no free alternatives seem to exist
