Fair use rationale for use of image in Rent (musical)

The use of the image in the article on Rent (musical) qualifies under the "Fair Use" doctrine because:

• It is a low resolution image;
• Its use does not interfere with or limit the copyright owner's opportunities or profits;
• Its use is significant to an understanding of this article, which is an article about the musical promoted in the poster; and
• There is no equivalent free image available to replace this image.

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.
