Summary[edit]

Fair Use Rationale for Five on the Black Hand Side[edit]

1. This DVD photo is shown and reproduced on other websites other than Wikipedia.
2. The cover depicts the wedding scene in the film. This film was historic in that it is the only film ever made by Hollywood that shows a couple being married in authentic African attire.
3. The DVD photo was used by MGM and United Artists in marketing the film around the world.
4. This image is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
5. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
6. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
7. The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
8. No free or public domain images have been located for this item.

Licensing:[edit]

This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of video covers to illustrate the videotape or disc in question 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.
