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.

Fair use true

Fair use rationale for use in the article Beyond Therapy (film) edit

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial.
2. The sole purpose of this use of the copyrighted image is to illustrate the videotape in question.
3. Said image is the primary means of visual identification of the main topic of the article; that is, the work that is distributed via the video media.
4. The image is used only once in the article, and is used in a section or "information box" that is neutral in tone.
5. The cover of the media is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the media.
6. The market for the original videotape product will not be diminished by this use of the image. In fact, this use is likely to encourage the increased legitimate sales of said videos.
7. Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the video cover, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy (the re-printing of covers to accompany pirated discs), or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or poster on its own.
8. Since it is copyrighted video art, the image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
9. Digital versions of this image have been previously published on numerous websites, so this use on Wikipedia does not make the image significantly more accessible.
10. The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is produced, sponsored, or authorized by the owner of the image.
