| Description |
Promotional image of the character Nick Cotton (John Altman) in Albert Square, fictional setting of the BBC One soap opera EastEnders. |
|---|---|
| Source |
Digital Spy, for promotion of the character's time in the series. |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
Cropped. |
| Low resolution? |
Yes, so as not to violate copyright laws. |
| Purpose of use |
The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the character in the medium of the TV series. It facilitates critical commentary by providing an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than textual description alone. The promotional shot does not limit the copyright owner's right to distribute the television drama in any way. It is being used for informational purposes only, and it is not considered to detract from the television show in any way. |
| Replaceable? |
As a promotional (nonfree) image, the image is not replaceable by free content; the copyright holders have not released similar images into public domain or allowed free use, and any other screenshot would be similarly copyrighted. A free image of the actress would not be true to the original character. It would not feature the character's typical hairstyle, which differs from the actor's own and is styled before each performance, or his manner of dress, which has been heavily criticized over the years. It would also not feature the identifiable EastEnders setting, which amplifies the incongruity of the character, thus rendering it inadequate for identification or commentary. |
