[edit] Summary

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.

Screenshot from an episode of the TV series Adventures of Superman, scaled down considerably from the original screen-capture. This is actually a composite of several frames. The one piece of stock footage used over and over was a vertical pan down the building, so the complete building was never visible at once. And the bottom part of the building was typically not shown, as the film would dissolve into a plaque reading "Daily Planet Building". The camera angle plus the dissolve would disguise the fact that the building, which appeared to be a skyscraper, was really only about 12 stories tall. This building, at 5225 Wilshire, is sometimes confused with the Carnation Building, which was two blocks away at 5045, and was used only for the street-level, front-entrance shots of the "Daily Planet Building". The Carnation Building is gone; the Wilson Building still stands.

[edit] I claim fair use on these grounds...

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

it is a historically significant photo of a famous individual or event or structure;
it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies and blowups made from it will be of very inferior quality);
the photo is only being used for informational purposes;
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and how the subject depicted was very historically significant to the general public. [2]
