It is believed that the use of this image in the article, Alone (2007 film) is fair use because:

1. The image is necessary and standard to display the film as a whole for the lead-in infobox.
2. It is not practical to convey a visual image about the film without using the movie poster or DVD or VHS cover, therefore, this is a non-replaceable image.
3. The image is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be inferior).
4. The image does not inhibit sales of the DVD, VHS, or posters for the film.
5. The image does not impede the licensing of the film.
6. The image does no damage to the image or quality of the film. In fact its use exactly fits the purpose of a movie poster or VHS/DVD cover, which is promoting the film.
7. The image is used on other websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make any more accessible than it already is.

This image is of a film 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 film posters to provide critical commentary on the film in question or of the film poster itself, not solely for illustration where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, 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.
