Fair use for Edgar G. Ulmer[edit]

This image is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (DCGeist) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low-resolution copy of a historical photograph of a significant film director;
2. the photo is being used only for informational purposes;
3. as the subject is deceased, no free image could be created or substituted;
4. due to its low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal reproductions of the photograph; and
5. the image contributes significantly to the article because it illustrates the article's subject, Edgar G. Ulmer, during his important career in the motion picture industry.
