[edit] Rationale of fair use for Perfect Dark

The image Image:Perfectdark1.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Soo 10:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. The image is of lower resolution than the original screenshot (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
2. No free or public domain images equivalent can be found, because this is an in-game screenshot.
3. The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the video game in any way.
4. The image is being used for informational purposes only, to illustrate the model of Joanna Dark used in the game, and its use is not believed to detract from the original game in any way.

[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}}.
