Fair use rationales edit

Though the picture is subject to copyright, I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use doctrine for use on South Pacific (2001 film) because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a DVD cover;
2. it contributes to the article significantly;
3. it does not limit the copyright owner's ability to sell copies of the film in any way;
4. no free equivalent is available at this time

The image is also covered by the fair use doctrine for use on South Pacific (musical) because:

2. it contributes to the article significantly;
3. it does not limit the copyright owner's ability to sell copies of the film in any way;
4. no free equivalent is available at this time
