Please note that the Office of Scholarly Communications and Copyright is not able to provide legal advice and therefore cannot make fair use determinations for library patrons or give guidance on whether permission is necessary for particular uses. Publishing companies, for example, don't generally sell licenses to use book cover images - they encourage free use of those images to promote their books. However, that's quite rare with these kinds of promotional materials. In that case, there's less room for fair use.
Another thing to consider is whether the rightsholder licenses the type of use you're making. Movie posters are sometimes sold on their own, but using a movie poster image to promote an authorized screening, for example, does not provide a substitute for posters sold by the studio. Book covers and album covers aren't typically sold separate from their books and albums. One thing to consider here is whether you're providing a substitute for something the rightsholder sells. It's quite important for these types of images. Fourth factor: The fourth factor considers the impact of your use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. Movie posters and album covers are likely to be considered separate works book covers often are registered for copyright only as part of the book. Third factor: Under the third factor, using a large amount of the work or the part of the work from which the work derives its value weighs against fair use. The second factor is relatively unimportant, but it improves the fair use analysis slightly for simple cover images and movie posters. 
If it's more creative than factual, that weighs against fair use.
Second factor: If the work you are using is more factual than creative, this weighs in favor of fair use under the second factor. Nonprofit educational purpose also favors fair use. If you use a cover or poster for one of these purposes, that weighs in favor of fair use. First factor: Criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research are favored purposes under the first factor. For a general overview, see our fair use page.įair use is extremely favorable to many uses of cover images and movie posters.
