[edit] Summary

World Map screenshot taken by myself from the Super Mario World computer game.

[edit] Fair use for Super Mario World

This image, Supermarioworld_map.PNG, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (Alexj2002) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution screenshot of a video game;
2. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the video game in any way;
3. copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the video game;

[edit] Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article Super Nintendo Entertainment System

• Nintendo has not released any such images to the public domain
• The image is used to identify the subject of the quote: "Nintendo's strongest selling point, however, was the game that came packed in with the Super NES console—Super Mario World.",^[1] and for no other purpose
• The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game
• The image is a web-resolution image
• The image does not limit Nintendo's ability to sell the product

[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}}.
