[edit] Fair use in The Simpsons, The Simpsons opening sequence and The Simpsons Movie

Though this video excerpt is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

   # It illustrates an educational article about the opening sequence used in the movie.
   # The media is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
   # It is of very low resolution, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
   # The media is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the media.
   # It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted media of comparable educational value. 
   # It is only a small portion (55 seconds), less than 10% of the whole movie (83 minutes)
