Fair use for Private Godfrey edit
Although the picture is subject to copyright, I (Jack1956) am of the opinion that it is covered by fair use provisions of U.S. copyright laws because:
- it is a low resolution scan of a BBC publicity photograph, and hence copies would have no or limited commercial value;
- it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the TV show or derivative productions in any way;
- its use may encourage sales of DVDs of the series in which this character is shown
- the image is being used for non-profit, educational, and/or illustrative/editorial purposes only;
- the TV show (Dad's Army) featuring this image was produced by the BBC, a public service broadcaster;
- the character (Private Godfrey) represented in the image played a major role in a culturally significant TV show.
