[edit] Rationale for fair use in Metroid II: Return of Samus

1. No free or public domain images have been located for this video game.
2. The image is of lower resolution than the original cover. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, and could not be used as artwork on illegal copies of this video game.
3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the video game in any way.
4. This is the artwork, intended by Nintendo for wide distribution. As such, it has future historical significance, and is a more appropriate choice than any other image available.
5. This image is used on various websites, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
6. The cover is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original video game in any way.

[edit] Licensing

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of game cover art to illustrate the packaging of the game in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, constitutes fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content 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.
