Bill Gates making a promotional appearance in Doom at a 1995 developers' conference.

Fair use rationale

The copyright for the video represented is likely owned by Microsoft. The image is a small portion of the work (a single frame). The video is already of rather low resolution. In the article Doom (1993 video game), it is used to illustrate a statement in the article, that Bill Gates appeared in a promotional video for Doom95, a port of Doom to Windows and DirectX. It is not replaceable by a free-content image.

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted video, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the individual or company which produced the video, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of low-resolution screenshots

for identification and critical commentary on the video 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 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.
