A promotional poster for the film Pieces of April (2003). Image copyright is owned by United Artists.

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 Misplaced Pages, 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 Misplaced Pages or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Misplaced Pages:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Misplaced Pages:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for posters. Try using Template:Non-free use rationale poster to state the rationale. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template. Fair usetrue

Rationale of fair use for Katie Holmes

The use of this file in the article(s) Pieces of April was reviewed by Hetar on 06:15, 3 July 2006 (UTC) and deemed likely to meet Misplaced Pages's policy on non-freely licensed content, because it is thought to meet all criteria as described in Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria. This file's use on other pages or in different contexts may require additional review at Misplaced Pages:Files for discussion.

The image Image:Pieces of April movie.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Extraordinary Machine 18:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The image is a promotional poster originally created by United Artists, and intended for wide distribution.
2. No free or public domain images have been located for the subject of the article or this film.
3. The image is of lower resolution than the original poster (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
4. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the poster or the film in any way.
5. The image is intended to represent the subject in arguably her most well-received film role as of writing. Its inclusion in the article is important because it represents a significant point in the subject's career that is discussed in the article.
6. The image is used on various websites, so its use on Misplaced Pages does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original poster or the film in any way.

This image fails WP:FUC. Fair-use images may not be used to depict living people. --Yamla 01:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

It's being used to depict her role in the film, not her. Still, I think we'd be able to provide a safer fair use claim for a screenshot from the film itself, as it's Holmes's role in the film that is discussed in the article, not her presence on the poster.

This non-free media file should be replaced with a smaller version to comply with Misplaced Pages's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. According to Misplaced Pages's policy for non-free content, the amount of copyrighted work used under fair use should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Misplaced Pages should not be usable as substitutes for the original work. A high-resolution non-free image is questionable fair use and may be deleted per Misplaced Pages's copyright policy. In most cases, this reduction will occur automatically: simply wait a while and a bot will resize the image file according to the guideline at WP:IMAGERES. When an automatic reduction does not occur or a manual reduction is desired, the size of an image may be reduced in an image editing program or by saving and re-uploading a suitably sized thumbnail. Once a reduced version of this file has been uploaded: Please replace this template with {{subst:orphaned non-free revisions}} (through source edit) or {{orphaned non-free revisions|date=28 December 2024}} (through VisualEditor or Twinkle).Fair usetrue
