This image, The_Wire_-_Season_1.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:

• The photo is of low resolution to the original, and therefore it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell, produce, or advertise the show in any way
• It is used to identify the subject of the article
• It features members of the starring cast
• It is accompanied by commentary on the cast, the season, the DVD and the show in general

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.
