File:R.E.M. - Road Movie.jpg

Summary[edit]

Low-res image of DVD/VHS cover.

Fair-use rationale[edit]

The image's inclusion in Road Movie (video) is claimed as fair use because:

• It illustrates educational articles about the DVD from which the cover illustration was taken.
• The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
• It is a low-resolution image.
• The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
• It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
• The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright-holder's rights or ability to distribute the original.
• The use of the cover illustration is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the article without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
