Summary edit

A Gorn, from the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "In a Mirror, Darkly Part II"

Fair use rationale edit

This image may be linked on the following pages in which it is a primary subject:

• Gorn
• In a Mirror, Darkly

Though the picture is subject to copyright. I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it does not limit the copyright owner’s rights to sell the show, DVDs, games, posters, models, toys, etc.;
2. it illustrates and identifies, in a way text alone cannot, a fictional alien and the television show in which it is featured.

Licensing edit

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.

Fair use for identification and critical commentary on how the Gorn appeared via computer animation in the 21st century, as opposed to the rubber suit used in the 1960s. --TheTruthiness 17:25, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
