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.

Fair use true

Source: Screen capture taken from a DVD of the Play for Today Brimstone and Treacle, created and uploaded by User:Angmering. Copyright in this production is owned by the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Fair use rationale for the use of this image in the article Play for Today:

• The article is about a television programme, and as such is almost impossible to illustrate without using images from the programme concerned.

• The programme is a major, high-profile example of BBC television drama and British television in general. It is thus an important topic on which to have a Wikipedia article, and one deserving of illustration.

• As the series was an anthology programme, an image from any one production would not serve for a general overview of the series, but a still of the opening titles, which were present on all editions, does.

• The image is used for educational and informational purposes only, and is not believed to detract from the production in any way.
