This image is an illustration of a character or characters in a comic book, video game, or animated television program or film. The copyright for it is most likely held by either the publisher/producer and/or artist(s) producing the work in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of character artwork: for commentary on the character or characters in question, where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Fair use for The Simpsons shorts[edit]

This image, Simpsons on Tracey Ullman.png, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Maitch) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution copy.
2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the Tracey Ullman Simpson shorts in any way.
3. it is unlikely that the image would be used for illegal prints since The Simpsons looks different now.
4. the image is significant because it shows the development of the characters.

Fair use for History of The Simpsons[edit]

3. it is unlikely that the image would be used for illegal prints since The Simpsons looks different now.
4. the image is significant because it shows the development of the characters. More specifically, the article is about the history of the show and this image along with an image of the family in their current state, shows how the character design have evolved over the years.

Fair use for Matt Groening[edit]

This image, Simpsons on Tracey Ullman.png, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Gran2) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a low resolution copy.
2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the Tracey Ullman Simpson shorts in any way.
3. It details a very important work of Matt Groening, and is only being used in an informative way.
