Summary[edit | edit source]

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 United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Licensing[edit | edit source]

This image might be a copywrong violation depending on how you use it.

However, using copywronged content for the purpose of making a parody is usually legal in the US. For example:

• Columbia Pictures Corp. v. National Broadcasting Co.
• Elsmere Music, Inc. v. National Broadcasting Co.

Let's hope that nobody cares enough to test this in court.
