Article

Buried on Sunday

Portion used

The entire front cover. Because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, 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 copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original video cover. 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 cover art. 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 work, namely the video cover creator's ability to provide video cover design services and in turn marketing video to the public.

Replaceable?

As a video cover, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the video 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 video cover in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Buried on Sunday//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Buried_on_Sunday.jpgtrue

For use in the film article only (Buried on Sunday).

Licensing

edit

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. It's a low resolution copy of a Film Poster / VHS or DVD Cover.
  2. It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the film in any way, in fact, it may encourage sales.
  3. Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the artwork/image.
  4. The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article or used in the infobox thereof.
  5. The image is significant because it was used to promoted a notable film.
  6. The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial.
  7. The sole purpose of this use of the copyrighted image is to illustrate the videotape or DVD in question.
  8. Said image is the primary means of visual identification of the main topic of the article; that is, the work that is distributed via the video media.
  9. The image is used only once in the article, and is used in a section or "information box" that is neutral in tone.
  10. The cover of the media is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the media.
  11. The market for the original videotape product will not be diminished by this use of the image. In fact, this use is likely to encourage the increased legitimate sales of said videos.
  12. Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the video cover, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy (the re-printing of covers to accompany pirated discs), or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or poster on its own.
  13. Since it is copyrighted video art, the image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
  14. Digital versions of this image have been previously published on numerous websites, so this use on Wikipedia does not make the image significantly more accessible.
  15. The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is produced, sponsored, or authorized by the owner of the image.
