Should uploading movie posters only be done by copyright owner? I would have to download them from the internet and then upload them. It just doesn't seem legal to me. Or is considered fair use? Just wondering...
Most posters are mainly shared for exposure, promotion.
However, downloading fan-art posters from DeviantArt and the like and then uploading is a no to me.
But, I'll quote lineker here:
If you are unsure about the laws where you live you should not add anything. If a production company would contact us and say that the promotional overview they have added to a press release is only allowed to be used by IMDb, that will will be a first. But maybe you are correct that IMDb owns the PDF-file shared to the press as well, but then that should be listed (and so far I have never seen any such attribution). It usually says for promotional purposes only with copyright belonging to the production company. Personally I prefer to rewrite the official stuff a bit, but it's a case by case decision.
