Fair use for The Beast Within[edit]

This image, Beastwithinposter.jpg, is being linked here; although the picture is subject to copyright, uploader feels it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a book cover;
2. the image will be used for educational purposes, to illustrate The Beast Within and other relevant articles in an encyclopedia;
3. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film in any way;
4. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the cover artwork on another book;
5. the image is significant because it depicts a particular film.

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.
