This template must be placed in the Licensing section of non-free posters to identify them as such. Note: Posters with US copyrights before 1964 are mostly in the public domain due to failure to formally renew the copyright on the poster. In this case the template {{PD-art|PD-US-not renewed}} should be used instead of this template. See Copyright renewal.
Usage

However, you have the option of putting the image into one of the appropriate sub-categories such as Fair use images of event posters, Fair use images of film posters, Animated film posters, Fair use images of television program posters, Fair use images of theatre posters, etc. To so, simply pass the name of the category as the first unnamed parameter. The following example puts the image into Fair use images of movie posters:
==Licensing==
{{Non-free poster|Fair use images of film posters}}
