Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free film poster – true for God Is My Co-Pilot (film)
Description	This is a poster for God Is My Co-Pilot. The poster art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the film, Warner Bros., the publisher of the film or the graphic artist.
Source	Source:http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/coverv/78/185778.jpg
Article	God Is My Co-Pilot (film)
Portion used	The entire poster: because the image is poster art, a form of product packaging or service marketing, the entire image is needed to identify the product or service, 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 poster. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as counterfeit artwork, pirate versions or for 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, product or service for which it serves as poster 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, product or service and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services, and in turn the marketing of the promoted item.
Replaceable?	As film poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or poster 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 poster art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

Fair use rationale for use in the article God Is My Co-Pilot (film)

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

The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial.
The sole purpose of this use of the copyrighted image is to illustrate the DVD in question.
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 DVD media.
The image is used only once in the article, and is used in a section or "information box" that is neutral in tone.
The cover of the media is not the "content" specifically being sold by the publisher of the media.
The market for the original DVD 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 DVDs.
Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing the DVD 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.
Since it is copyrighted DVD art, the image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
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.
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.

Licensing

This image is of a film 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 film posters

to provide critical commentary on the film in question or of the film poster itself, not solely for illustration
where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information,
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.
