[edit] Fair use for The Simpsons opening sequence

This image, Simpsons chalkboard gag.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Maitch) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution screenshot from an episode;
it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the DVDs in any way;
the image on the cover is significant because it is the only way to show a chalkboard gag.
