[edit] Summary

Screenshot of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

[edit] Fair use in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Atari 2600)

It is believed that this image failed under being fair use for the following reasons:

• Atari has not released any screenshots into the public domain;
• It serves to illustrate the game in question;
• It serves to identify E.T., a well, a phone piece, and the action icons;
• It is of low quality;
• The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the video game in any way;
• The image is being used for informational purposes only;
• Its use is not believed to detract from the original game in any way;
• Its use does not infringe on Atari's ability to sell the game, which is old and hasn't been sold by Atari in decades.
• Atari doesn't want it and has dumped it into a landfill. That's sorta like giving up copyright.

[edit] Licensing

This is a screenshot of a non-free copyrighted video or computer game, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the company or person that developed the game. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots for identification and critical commentary on the computer or video game in question or the copyrighted character(s) or item(s) depicted on the screenshot in question 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, as such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to generate profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise. 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. Note: This tag should not be used for screenshots of free software; use the license tag corresponding to the software's license instead, optionally alongside {{Free screenshot}}.
