[edit] Summary

• Description: Screenshot of the music video for the Beyoncé Knowles single "Suga Mama" (2007).
• Source: Image copyright is owned by Sony BMG Music Entertainment.

[edit] Rationale of fair use for Suga Mama

• Portion: Single screenshot of a video comprising thousands of individual frames — only a small portion of the commercial product.
• Resolution: Image is of high enough resolution to identify the video and illustrate its style, but is of lower resolution than the original video — copies of the image would be of inferior quality.
• Purpose: Image illustrates an educational article about the single for which the video was produced. It is used as the primary means of visual identification of an important aspect of the article topic, and illustrates the style of the video in a way that text alone cannot.
• Replaceability: Image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
• Other information: The video from which the image was taken has been published and widely distributed outside Wikipedia because it is primarily intended as a marketing device to promote the accompanying single. The use of the screenshot will not affect the value of the original video or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the video, and does not interfere with the original purpose of the video.

[edit] Licensing

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:Non-free content for more information. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
