This is a low-res screencap from the 2007 Emmy telecast. It was found on YouTube and it is a copyrighted picture belonging solely to the Television Academy. The picture does not prevent the academy, the ceremony, the telecast, or the network from making money, and it is a good visual representation of the censorship controversy and can be used to generate interest in the matter. The copyright belongs to those mentioned above and I take no credit in the creation of this picture.

Licensing[edit]

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.

Fair Use rationale for 59th Primetime Emmy Awards[edit]

This image, Emmyball.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Spyke1077) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• The image is being used to illustrate the event in question.
• No free or public domain alternatives are available for this event.
• Copies of the telecast have been distributed on television, the internet, and in other venues, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
• The image is of lower resolution than the original telecast from which the image is taken.
• It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell or promote the show in any way.
• The image is being used for informational purposes only.
