TERstargate.png‎ (145 × 101 pixel, file size: 22 KB, MIME type: image/png)

This is a picture of the fictional weapon TER or Transphase Eradication Rod on the Television show, Stargate SG-1. The image was taken from the 2nd season episode Show and Tell

This picture is being used in Wikipedia's article on the Transphase Eradication Rod for the television show Stargate SG-1 (MGM). Although it is subject to copyright, I think it is covered by US fair use laws because:

   * It is a low resolution, cropped, still image.
   * It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the related product in any way

Further, the image is fair use because it is not being used merely to decorate the related article, but rather:

   * Aids in the understanding of the device in question.
   * Assists in the comparison of the device with other fictional devices.

I (Tat) captured and cropped the image specificly for use by Wikipedia under fair use rules.

It would be rather hard to "Note the resemblance to the Plasma Rifle in Halo and Halo 2;" -- without the image.

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket fair use categories listed at Wikipedia:Fair use#Images or Wikipedia:Fair use#Audio_clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Transphase Eradication Rod":

To illustrate the object in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia ([1]), hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([2]),

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 and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed fair use rationale.
