Rationale for A Colt Is My Passport edit

I believe that this image is fair use, as:

1. The image is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell or market the work in any way.
3. It is solely being used for informational purposes.
4. No free equivalent was located. Doctor Sunshine talk 19:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

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.
