File:U2 3D poster.jpg

Summary

Detailed rationale

This image is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. No free equivalent of this poster exists, which is copyrighted in nature, to display the artwork used in the image.
2. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
3. The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy and to limit its impact on the film's marketability.
4. The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above.
5. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
6. The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
7. The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
8. The image serves a purpose greater than simply identifying the film, and is supplemental to the free image File:U2 3D logo.png as it shows the appearance of the film's poster, that of which is mentioned and explained in the article, and how it uses a variety of images from the film, and won an award for best art.
9. The image is used in the article namespace.
10. The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.

Licensing

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.
