Mjf_1983.png‎ (200 × 300 pixel, file size: 27 KB, MIME type: image/png)

1983 poster of Montreux Jazz Festival; designed by Keith Haring. Fair use.

I think it's fair use, as per Jamesday's comment on Wikipedia:Possible copyright infringements on February 4, 2004 on the question whether a thumbnail of a movie poster was a copyvio:

"These will always be fair use here in articles about the movie. There's no prospect of a thumbnail image like these replacing the sales of the video or of posters of the video cover art and since the purpose of the cover art is promotional any exposure is likely to increase sales."

For the record, the poster itself is © by the Montreux Jazz Festival. I believe the use of this thumbnail is fair use.

All the posters of the Montreux Jazz Festival can be bought at the official web site of the Montreux Jazz Festival.

This image is of a poster for an event, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the organization hosting the event or the artist which produced the poster in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of event posters

to illustrate the event in question,
in the absence of free photographs which could serve such a purpose,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
