[edit] Fair use for The Wire (season 1)

This image, The_Wire_-_Season_1.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Opark 77) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  • The photo is of low resolution to the original, and therefore it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell, produce, or advertise the show in any way
  • It is used to identify the subject of the article
  • It features members of the starring cast
  • It is accompanied by commentary on the cast, the season, the DVD and the show in general

[edit] Licensing

 This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of video covers

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:Fair use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
