Fair use for The Wire (TV series)
This image, TheWire07.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Opark 77) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
 * 1) it is a promotional screenshot from a television series;
 * 2) it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the DVD of the show in any way;
 * 3) copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the program because it is low resolution;
 * 4) the image is accompanied by a description of the slang phrase pictured and critical commentary about the role of this sort of device on the show.
 * 5) the image is significant because it identifies a real-life Baltimore location and graffiti illustrating a commonly used play on words (though the graffiti has since been painted over, hence new free images of it cannot be made).
