Purpose of use
Replaceable?

Due to Games Workshop's intellectual property rules, no free image can ever be created that portrays any of the miniatures that Games Workshop has produced and released. In addition, this is a screenshot of a copyrighted video game and thus, no free alternative is available.

[edit] Fair Use Rationale

  • I (Shrumster) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because: This image is being used for information purposes only and no equivalent free image can be created. It adds significantly to the article(s) linked to by displaying the subject of the article(s). It is believed that the use of this image on Wikipedia will have no impact on the commercial value of the image, the product displayed within the image, or any other works the image is currently used in.

[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}}.
