Summary[edit]

Promotional poster for D.E.B.S. (short), deemed fair use.

Rationale of fair use for D.E.B.S. (2003 film)[edit]

It is believed that the image, Debs short poster.jpg, is subject to fair-use in the D.E.B.S. (2003 film) article, as;

1. No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
2. The image is of lower resolution than the original poster (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the film in any way.
4. For an article about a film, the promotional artwork is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. This is the artwork, intended by Power Up Films for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
5. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. The poster is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.
