Article

The Decay of Fiction

Portion used

The entire promotional image: because the image is display art, a form of product promotion, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.

Low resolution?

The digitized image of the original promotional image is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by Pat O'Neill and/or "Lookout Mountain Films" without being unnecessarily high resolution. The copy used is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original promotional image. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

Main infobox: The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as a promotional still image. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services to film concerns and in turn marketing films to the public.

Replaceable?

As a promotional still image, a form of product promotion, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the film would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Other information

Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
