==Rationale for fair use in [[Stargate]]==

Although this image is subject to copyright, the editors of Wikipedia, among them myself (~~~) in particular, feel that it is covered by [[US]] [[fair use]] laws because:

* It is a low resolution still image;

* It does not limit the copyright owner's rights or ability to sell the related product in any way

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

* Aids commentary by illustrating the subject matter

* Is not used irrelevantly but is strictly referred to

This rationale should refer specifically to why that image is being used and what it shows.

[edit] Example 2

This example is the full image page text for a screenshot of Stargate SG-1.

This picture is being used in Wikipedia's article for the television show ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' ([[MGM]]). Although it is subject to copyright, the editors of Wikipedia, among them myself (~~~) in particular, feel that it is covered by [[US]] [[fair use]] laws because:

* It is a low resolution still image;

* It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the related product in any way

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

* Aids commentary on the plot outline;

* Poignantly illustrates the related episode

Particularly because:

* It illustrates the significant moment which characterises the episode in question.
