| Article | |
| Portion used |
Entire poster, to avoid misrepresentation of the meaning of the work. The film's tagline, text and credits are omitted from this version to reduce use of trademarks and copyrighted text and make the image more generalized to all forms of packaging. |
| Low resolution? |
Low; decreased in resolution and quality from the original source file (375px from original 640px width). Copies made from it will be of inferior quality due to the reduction in size, and thus this image is unsuitable as artwork for pirated versions of the poster or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. |
| Purpose of use |
To illustrate the promotion of First Contact and the way the movie was marketed and sold; to provide readers with a primary means of recognizing the work discussed and assure them they have reached the proper article. |
| Replaceable? |
As poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; Paramount has not released similar images into public domain or allowed free use, and any other image that shows the marketing 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 |
© 1996 Paramount Pictures; Use of poster art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |
