Stupid_girls.jpg‎ (450 × 337 pixel, file size: 21 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

A screenshot from the music video for the Pink single "Stupid Girls" (2006). Image copyright is owned by LaFace Records.

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted music video or promotional video for a music artist, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the producers of the video and possibly also by the music artist. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the music video in question
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.

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.

[edit] Rationale of fair use for Stupid Girls

The image Stupid girls.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Extraordinary Machine 23:01, 1 January 2007 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

The image is a screenshot from a promotional music video originally created by LaFace Records, and intended for wide distribution.
The image is of lower resolution than the original screenshot (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the single or music video in any way.
For an article containing discussions of a music video, a screenshot is arguably the most important image that could be included. This is a screenshot from the video, intended by LaFace Records for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
Its inclusion in the article is important because it suggests something of the video's style.
The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original single or music video in any way.
