Fair use for Alfresco (TV series) edit

This image is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (bingo99) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low resolution still of a television show;
• it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the film in any way;
• the image was taken by a DVD screen capturer which means this not the original portrait;
• it allows for identification of the main characters;
• it illustrates the film in question and aids commentary on the plot outline.
• There is no free equivalent
• Meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
• Copyright is attributed
• It significantly increases readers understanding of the topic. Its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
• As few non-free content uses as possible are included in the article
• It is only available in a page where the Television show it is from is under discussion
• It is used in at least one article

Licensing edit

This image is a screenshot of a copyrighted television program. As such, the copyright for it is most likely owned by the company or corporation that produced it. It is believed that the use of a limited number of low-resolution screenshots for identification of and critical commentary on the television program and its contents on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content.
