The Jacksons: An American Dream

[edit] Fair use for image

I (--FuriousFreddy) believe use of this image falls under fair use because:

• It is a historically significant image of a dramatic depiction of a major American musical group, derived from a low-resolution screenshot from a television broadcast
• The image is of significantly lower resolution so as not to allow any high-quality copies, half the resolution of a standard television broadcast
• The photo is used for informational purposes only
• the photo is important to the article because it illustrates a dramatic adaptation of the events described in the article, and also illustrates an award-winning miniseries based upon the lives of the subjects of the article. --FuriousFreddy 07:40, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents 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 described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
