Fair use in It's Your Move (game show)[edit]

This copyrighted image is used in the English-language Wikipedia article "It's Your Move (game show)." The manner of said use constitutes a "fair use" under United States copyright law. Specifically:

1. The English-language Wikipedia is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a non-profit charitable organization.
2. The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial.
3. The sole purpose of this use of the copyrighted image is to illustrate the programme in question.
4. Said image is the primary means of visual identification of the main topic of the article.
5. The image is used only once in the article, and is used in a section that is neutral in tone.
6. The image is not the "content" specifically being sold by the producer of the programme.
7. The market for any product will not be diminished by this use of the image. In fact, this use is likely to encourage the increased legitimate sales of said products.
8. Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding media piracy, or make it so that the copyright holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image as a print or poster on its own.
9. The image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
10. The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is produced, sponsored, or authorized by the owner of the image.

Licensing[edit]

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit. The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion. It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate: the person(s), product, event, or subject in question; where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it; on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation; qualifies as fair use under Copyright law of the United States. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos. Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license. Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale must be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights. Fair use //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IYM77.jpg true
