File:1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games poster.jpg

Summary edit

I, Seth Whales, believe that the use of this non-free image in the article 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games is fair because:

1. No free or public domain images exist for this poster.
2. The source of this image is at www.rugbyrelics.com
3. This image is widely distributed in other venues, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
4. This image meets all general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
5. The image significantly illustrates the object of the article.
6. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the poster in any way.
7. The poster is being used for educational and informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original album in any way, or deprive its copyright holders of any financial gain.
8. The image is of lower resolution than the original poster. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality.

Note that this does not claim fair use in articles other than 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. If you wish to use this image in another article, please add a new fair use rationale below.

Licensing: edit

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.
