Summary

Fair use in Film colorization

It is believed that this image, Night_of_the_Living_Dead_color_1986.JPG, is subject to fair use in the article Film colorization because:

1. This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, which describes the use of early colorization technology.
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
4. 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.
5. The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
6. No free or public domain images have been located for this item.
