Article

Zygon

Portion used

A single frame from the film/broadcast/media concerned: because the image is a screenshot, the entire image is needed to place the image in context with relation to the work from which it is sourced, and to accompany any relevant commentary given in the associated article.

Low resolution?

The screenshot is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original film/broadcast or media. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on unauthorised versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Purpose of use

The image provides visual identification and illustration of the titluar monster of the article in which the image appears. The image is used for identification and clarifcation in the context of critical commentary of the monster which is the subject of the image. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show a visual image associated with the work mentioned in the associated article or section, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, a single low-resolution frame, being of comparatively low commercial value.

Replaceable?

As a screenshot of a copyrighted film/broadcast/animation or audio visual presentation, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image captured from the same film would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Furthermore as copyright in the monster design shown is almost certainly still owned by the BBC or the monsters creators, it would not be possible to produce a 'free' replica.

Other information

Use of the screenshot in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
