[edit] Fair Use Rationale for Thomas Magnum
- There exists no free alternative, nor can one be created. Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV is a fictional character, all images of him are necessarily copyrighted.
- This image respects commercial opportunities - a single cropped image cannot meaningfully compete with a 44 minute episode.
- The image represents a minimal use - it is a single cropped image - equivalent to a single frame from an episode that has over 50,000 frames. It is of a reasonable low resolution.
- The image has been previously published, as well as used in the DVD release of the series.
- The image is of a major character from a culturally significant series of television shows. It is encyclopedic.
- The image generally meets the image use policy.
- The image is used in at least one article, Thomas Magnum.
- The image contributes strongly to the article. As a fictional character, the subject is more easily visualized.
- The image is used only in the article namespace.
- The image's copyright is owned by CBS.
This media was proposed for deletion as a replaceable non-free content. The result was to Keep the image, as no adequate free-licensed image exists or can be created to fulfill the limited role performed by this image at the time deletion was considered. However, this image may be replaceable by free images in other contexts, and in such cases the free image must take precedence. A discussion of this decision may exist on the image talk page. |
