Fair Use for Boomtown (1956 TV series)

Summary[edit]

I have scanned the cover of this copyrighted DVD, and may show it here under the US fair use laws, because:

• The image illustrates the DVD to which the text directly refers,substantially improving the educational value of the article.
• The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article section's topic.
• The image is of much lower resolution than the original, 199x280 pixels, and the cover only is shown. Any potential copies made from it would be of very inferior quality and unsuitable for any commercial purpose.
• The image is not used here for profit, and its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder, TrailMixx Pictures, and such use here does not decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
• It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the work referenced in the article, because the whole body of work under discussion in this section of the article is © TrailMixx Pictures.
