[edit] Fair use in A Nightmare on Elm Street (video game)

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the United States fair use laws because:

LJN has released no such images into the public domain, and a replacement image could not be created that would adequately provide the same information.
The image is being used for no purpose other than to identify the subject of the article.
The image resolution has been significantly decreased from the original, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality.
The use of this image neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its salability in any way.
