Summary[edit]

Charodey DVD cover

Non-free media use rationale – non-free DVD cover – for Leonid Kharitonov (actor) and the film Charodey[edit]

• Description: This is a DVD cover for Charodey. The art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the film, the publisher of the film or the graphic artist.

• Portion used: The entire front of the DVD cover. Because the image is a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, 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: The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as product packaging 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 at the side of a section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work 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 to film concerns and in turn marketing films to the public.

• Replaceable? As product packaging art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or packaging would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work.
