Fair use rationale for use in the article The Blue Max

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

1. The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial.
2. The sole purpose of this use of the copyrighted image is to illustrate the movie in question.
3. Said image is the primary means of visual identification of the main topic of the article.
4. The image is used only once in the article, and is used in a section or "information box" that is neutral in tone.
5. The poster of the media is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the media.
6. The market for the original product will not be diminished by this use of the image. In fact, this use is likely to encourage the increased legitimate sales of said films.
7. Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the poster, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy (the re-printing of posters to accompany pirated material), or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or poster on its own.
8. Since it is copyrighted art, the image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
9. Digital versions of this image have been previously published on numerous websites, so this use on Wikipedia does not make the image significantly more accessible.
10. The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is produced, sponsored, or authorized by the owner of the image.

Summary

Fair use rationale

• This image is being used to illustrate the article on the movie The Blue Max and is used for informational or educational purposes only.
• This image is of low resolution.
• It is believed that this image will not devalue the ability of the copyright holder to profit from the original work.

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 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.
