Fair use for A Case of Rape edit

Though the picture is subject to copyright I (Peregrinefisher) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low resolution still of a film;
• it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the fiom in any way;
• it illustrates the film in question and aids commentary on the plot outline.

Licensing edit

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of low-resolution screenshots for critical commentary and discussion of the film and its contents 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.
