This image, Pollywho.jpg, is a screen shot from an episode of Doctor Who, and copyrighted by the BBC, I futurehawk|talk 22:00, 27 September 2007 (UTC)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use law because:

1. The image is a low-resolution (439 × 541) cropped screen shot from a 25-minute episode of Doctor Who, and of inferior quality to standard broadcast or DVD releases;
2. The image is being used for informational purposes, visually showing the character Polly as portrayed by Anneke Wills, a companion of The Doctor, therefore an important character discussed in the article;
3. No more free alternative is known to exist;
4. The use of the image in this article will have no effect on the BBC’s commercial use of the image in question.

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of low-resolution screenshots for critical commentary and discussion of the film 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, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
