Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free film poster – true for Slightly Scarlet (1956 film)
Description	This is a poster for Slightly Scarlet. The poster art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the film, RKO Radio Pictures, the publisher of the film or the graphic artist. Further details: Theatrical poster of color film noir: Slightly Scarlet.
Source	DVD Beaver. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews22/slightly_scarlet_dvd_review.htm
Article	Slightly Scarlet (1956 film)
Portion used	The entire poster: because the image is poster art, a form of product packaging or service marketing, the entire image is needed to identify the product or service, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original poster. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as counterfeit artwork, pirate versions or for uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work, product or service for which it serves as poster art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work, product or service and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services, and in turn the marketing of the promoted item.
Replaceable?	As film poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or poster would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Other information	Use of the poster art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

Re Source

Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the film poster. 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 company or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.

Fair use rationale for use in article Slightly Scarlet

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

This image is being used to illustrate the article of the movie in question and is used for informational purposes only.
This image is a low resolution of the film poster.
Because of the low resolution, image could not be used to make illegal copies for sale.
The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above.
It is believed that this image will not devalue the ability of the copyright holder to profit from the original work. In fact, it may encourage sales.
As such, the image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
The image is itself a subject of discussion and used for critical commentary in the article.
Image is needed for educational purposes in relation to the subject it is discussing and to identify the film in cinematic history.
Image used for critical commentary, reporting, and/or teaching qualifies as Fair Use.

Significance of image for use in the article

Image is significant because it was used to promote a notable color film noir in 1956. Only 11 film noirs were shot in color during the "classic period" of film noir.
The image of poster is used as the film's primary means of visual identification in the Slightly Scarlet article.

Licensing

This image is of a film 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 film posters

to provide critical commentary on the film in question or of the film poster itself, not solely for illustration
where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information,
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.
