[edit] Fair use rationale for Peanuts

This image, CharlieBrownChristmas.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Hiding Talk) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

No free alternative can exist given the likenesses of the characters depicted in the Peanuts strip are copyrighted and subject to trademark and intellectual property laws;
It is a low resolution copy of a dvd cover;
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the dvd in any way;
Copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the dvd cover art on another dvd;
The image is used within the article to illustrate the animated adaptation of the comic strip, which the article discusses, noting the impact this had on raising the awareness of the strip, and also discussing differences between the strip and the adaptations.
The animation to which this is the dvd cover art is the first animated adaptation, and thus has significance.

[edit] Licensing

This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of video covers

to illustrate the videotape in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
