Summary

Very low resolution screenshot of a scene that is frequently censored on television. This is taken from The Truce Hurts, a 1948 Tom and Jerry cartoon

Fair Use Rationale

1. The screenshot is used to illustrate something described in the article. In particular, this shows a potentially racist scene that has been cut from virtually all television broadcasts of this cartoon, and is therefore considered interesting for discussion on racial stereotyping in American animation.

2. No free or public-domain images have been located for this content.

3. The screenshot does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the film on television or DVDs in any way.

4. The screenshot is of lower resolution and quality than the original film (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).

5. The screenshot is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film in any way.
