== Replacing fair use images with “4K” versions ==
Hi, the reason that files like [[:File:Drevil million dollars.jpg]] are deliberately low resolution is because they’re copyrighted and used at Wikipedia under fair use, not because we didn’t think to use a higher resolution version.
If you click on the photo you’ll see that the file page says:
{{tqb|This image is a [[screenshot]] from a [[copyright]]ed film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a ”’limited number”’ of ”’low-resolution”’ screenshots<br />
* for ”’critical commentary and discussion”’ of the film and its contents
* on the [[Main Page|English-language Wikipedia]], hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit [[wmf:Home|Wikimedia Foundation]],<br />
qualifies as ”'[[fair use]]”’ under the [[Copyright law of the United States]]. ”’Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be [[copyright infringement]].”’ See [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] for more information.}}
So replacing these with higher res versions that you’ve found online is a copyright violation. Please don’t do this. [[User:Belbury|Belbury]] ([[User talk:Belbury|talk]]) 17:11, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
