Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. The image is used as the primary visual means of identifying the subject of the article.
2. It's a low resolution copy of the cover of a DVD, and so represents an insignificant portion of the commercial product.
3. The image and its use here cannot supplant the commercial value of the original DVD product.
4. The subject is a copyrighted television series, for which no free image is available or can be obtained/produced.

This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of video covers to illustrate the videotape or disc in question 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, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
