[edit] Licensing

This image is a screenshot of a copyrighted television program or station ID. 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 web-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the station ID or 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 United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

This image is claimed as fair use for the article Thomas Pynchon, since it illustrates the only image of a widely renowned author which that author has authorized for public release in several decades. (Specifically, Pynchon appears in the same animated form in two different Simpsons episodes.) As the article on Pynchon discusses his media aversion and specifically covers these cartoon appearances, including this screenshot adds to the article's scholarly usefulness. Furthermore, the inclusion of this reduced-resolution still image does not materially affect the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original work.
