Fair use rationale for use of image in the article Torch Song Trilogy

The use of this image in the article Torch Song Trilogy qualifies under the "fair use" doctrine because:

• it is a low resolution image;
• its use will not deprive the copyright holder of income or opportunities;
• it cannot be replaced by an equivalent free substitute; and
• it is the primary visual representation of the musical that is the subject of the article, and so it adds substantially to the reader's understanding of the article.

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.
