[edit] Fair use for Journalists of The Wire

This image, The_Wire_Luxenberg.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:

  1. it is a promotional screenshot of a television character;
  2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the DVD of the show in any way;
  3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the program;
  4. the image is accompanied by a description of the characters role and critical commentary of their importance on the show.
  5. the image is significant because it identifies a subject of the article, also a regular character.

[edit] Licensing

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content.

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.
