File:The Message (Firefly episode - screenshot).jpg

I (Grandpafootsoldier) have uploaded this image, Fireflymessage.jpg, here. Though the picture is subject to copyright, I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws for this page alone because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a television screenshot;
2. it contributes to the article significantly;
3. it does not limit the copyright owner's ability to sell copies of the television program in any way;
4. no free equivalent is available at this time

}}

• it is a low resolution still of a television episode;
• it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the episode in any way;
• it illustrates the episode in question and aids commentary on the plot outline.
• The copyright is most likely held by Sci Fi Channel (United States)

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.
