Fair use rationale for It Ain't Half Hot Mum edit

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

• Use: Infobox in article It Ain't Half Hot Mum
• Description: Low resolution still with title of the notable 1970's television comedy show It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
• Source: http://garybasford.tripod.com/hot_mum_logo.jpg
• Derived from a still shot (creator of this image is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by BBC. Claimed as fair use regardless.
• Portion: Entire screenshot which includes all the main characters.
• Resolution: Low, The image is only as much resolution as necessary to identify the characters mentioned in the article not enough to be used for piracy, neither does its inclusion limit the copyright owners rights to sell the television show in any way.
• Purpose: Infobox. For article It Ain't Half Hot Mum. It illustrates the appearance of this 1970s classic television comedy sitcom and identifies it visually for historical and critical analysis, thus it is needed to increase the readers understanding of the subject which is being discussed.
• Replaceability: No free equivalent can equal this image (and any would be a derivative thereof).
• Other information: This image is already widely distributed to identify the show as part of DVD catalogs and television reviews, so we degrade no market value by providing it ourselves.
