Fair use rationale for The Pit and the Pendulum (1961 film)
This image, PitFlash.jpg, is being linked here; although the picture is subject to copyright I (Hal Raglan) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
 * 1) This image illustrates the text next to which it appears, which specifically describes the techniques used to create the film's flashback sequences.
 * 2) The image visually identifies Barbara Steele, one of the film's stars.
 * 3) It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
 * 4) It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
 * 5) The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.-Hal Raglan 03:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
