Fair use in sound film
The image linked here is claimed by Wikipedia editor DCGeist to be used under fair use as:
 * 1) it is a single screenshot from a historically significant feature-length film;
 * 2) it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality);
 * 3) its use does not impair the copyright holder's ability to sell or promote the film in any way;
 * 4) it is being used only for informational purposes; and
 * 5) its inclusion adds significantly to the article because it illustrates the first European feature sound film, as discussed in the accompanying text.
