Fair use rationale for use in American films of 2006[edit]

1. For an article covering the films released in the USA in 2006, one single original poster identifying the Academy Award winning film of that year in the absence of any other images significantly contribrutes to the article and illustrates the role and significance of that film in cinemtatic history.
2. No free or public domain images have been located for this film or indeed any films of that year.
3. The image is of lower resolution than the original poster (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
4. The poster is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film or affect the copyright holder in any way. The poster's use in that film history article is entirely encyclopedic in nature and is believed to enhance an understanding of film in that year in history.
5. The poster is used on various websites, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.
