3. Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the ad as it of lower resolution than the original.
4. The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article.
5. The image is significant due to its historical illustration of racism as advocated or tolerated by a major motion picture company.

Source edit

Licensing edit

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.
