Fair-use rationale

It is believed that this image is subject to fair use in the article The Last Waltz because:

1. This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, which describes the film in question for which it promotes.
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 or any of its derivatives (posters, albums, DVDs, etc.) in any way.
4. This image is used on various websites, such as IMDb, 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 that serve this image's purpose exist. It is a non-replaceable image.
