Summary[edit]

Fair use for The Phantom of the Opera (2004 film)[edit]

This image, Poto2.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. it is a low resolution copy of a movie poster;
2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the movie in any way;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the movie poster.

Licensing[edit]

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 the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
