File:26th Hong Kong Film Awards Poster.jpg

Summary[edit]

Official poster of the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards.

Rationale for fair use[edit]

It is believed that the image, 26th Hong Kong Film Awards Poster.jpg, is subject to fair-use in the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards article, as;

1. The image is of lower resolution than the original poster (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
2. For an article about an event, the promotional artwork is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. This is the artwork, intended by the organizer for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.

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.
