DVD cover for True Grit.

Copyright held by Paramount Pictures.

Rationale of fair use
It is believed that the use of this image in the articles, True Grit and Rooster Cogburn (character) is fair use because:
 * 1) The image is necessary and standard to display the film or character as a whole for the lead-in infobox.
 * 2) It is not practical to convey a visual image about the film or character 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) It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
 * 5) The image does not inhibit sales of the DVD, VHS, or posters for the film.
 * 6) The image does not impede the licensing of the film.
 * 7) 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.
 * 8) The image is used on other websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make any more accessible than it already is.
