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:
- The English-language Wikipedia is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a non-profit charitable organization.
- The article for which this use occurs is purely educational in nature and, thus, is non-commercial.
- The sole purpose of this use of the copyrighted image is to illustrate the programme in question.
- Said image is the primary means of visual identification of the main topic of the article.
- The image is used only once in the article, and is used in a section that is neutral in tone.
- The image is not the "content" specifically being sold by the producer of the programme.
- 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.
- 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.
- The image is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
- 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.

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.
