Rationale of fair use for The West Wing (television)[edit]

1. The screenshot is of lower resolution and quality than the original video (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).

3. The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the show or DVDs in any way.
4. The screenshot is intended to represent the nature of the show. Its inclusion in the article is important as an example of a dramatic feature specifically detailed in the article.
5. The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original show or DVD in any way.

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.
