Summary[edit]

This image is a screenshot of a copyrighted television program. As such, the copyright for it is most likely owned by the company or corporation that produced it. 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.

This image is a screencapture of the Special Featurette "Serenity: the 10th Character" on disc four of the Firefly: the Complete Series DVD box set. The screencap was created by me (User:CheNuevara) using VideoLAN and PhotoFiltre, both freeware applications.

According to the featurette, this was a production sketch of the Serenity vessel in the Firefly series.

This picture, although copyrighted, is believed to be usable on Wikipedia in the following articles under fair use stipulations:

Fair use for Serenity (Firefly vessel)[edit]

• The article describes the layout of the vessel -- this image displays said layout;
• The image replicates information available throughout the series and introduces no new information and therefore the content of this image is usable;
• This image has no salable value in reproduction and therefore is not a risk of illegal reproduction and distribution;
• This image accompanies a commentary to the series, but displays no information particular to that commentary and thereby does not diminish the sale value or potential of that commentary (found on the above mentioned DVD set) by making the information contained therein freely available;
• It is believed that screencaptures of copyrighted DVD videos can be used for discussion of the material.
