==={{Tv-screenshot}}

This image is a screenshot of a copyrighted television program, video podcast 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 Lostpedia, hosted on servers in the United States,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Lostpedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. For more information, see Fair use.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Usage

This copyright template is designed for use on any screenshots used of LOST, the LOST DVDs or any other material directly relating to video from the TV show or any of its spin-offs, including the LOST Experience.

Template:GDFL

{{Promotional}}

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of promotional material

• to illustrate the work or product in question;
• in the absence of free images that could serve such a purpose;
• on the English-language Lostpedia, hosted on servers in the United States.

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Lostpedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Usage

Promotional photographs of the show or actors released by ABC, or the actors themselves, designed to promote LOST or the actor themselves via an image portfolio. Most of the images marked promotional will come from ABC Medianet [1]. Each image should have individual copyright applied in this case, via the summary options when uploading.
