[edit] Fair Use in Descent: FreeSpace — The Great War

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Descent: FreeSpace — The Great War
Description	An animated GIF of the Terran destroyer GTD Galatea exploding from severe damage by colliding asteroids. Electricity arcs over its hull, followed by multiple small explosions. Its hull buckles and rips apart in a final large explosion, with the ripped up hull flung outwards. After the explosion, wreckage can be seen floating around with rippling electricity.

Portion used	This is composed of 37 out of the millions of frames rendered by the video game, and hence insignificant.
Low resolution?	Yes
Purpose of use	To visually illustrate the feature of the game which has impressed all its reviewers, hence helping readers better understand why they were so impressed.
Replaceable?	Interplay has not released any such images into the public domain, and a free replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information
Other information	As the game is out-of-production and no longer on sales, the use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way
