Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	Fair use is asserted in and as follows: The image is a low resolution picture. Further, the copyright is over the design of the three-dimensional ring; only the two-dimensional picture is produced in Wikipedia or derivatives. Because the three-dimensional ring is the object of import, the use of the picture does not inhibit the copyright holders of their rights to use and earn revenue from the design of the ring. In Texas A&M University, the ring is discussed, including the fact that only one design is offered to students, making it a de facto symbol of the school. Presenting an image of the ring enhances the critical discussion. In Traditions of Texas A&M University, the ring is discussed further as well as certain traditions specific to A&M and the Aggie Ring. Accordingly, presenting the image enhances the corresponding critical discussion.
