Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:38, 20 February 2009

This non-free media file should be replaced with a smaller version to comply with Misplaced Pages's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. According to Misplaced Pages's policy for non-free content, the amount of copyrighted work used under fair use should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Misplaced Pages should not be usable as substitutes for the original work. A high-resolution non-free image is questionable fair use and may be deleted per Misplaced Pages's copyright policy. In most cases, this reduction will occur automatically: simply wait a while and a bot will resize the image file according to the guideline at WP:IMAGERES. When an automatic reduction does not occur or a manual reduction is desired, the size of an image may be reduced in an image editing program or by saving and re-uploading a suitably sized thumbnail. Once a reduced version of this file has been uploaded: Please replace this template with {{subst:orphaned non-free revisions}} (through source edit) or {{orphaned non-free revisions|date=29 December 2024}} (through VisualEditor or Twinkle).Fair usetrue

A screenshot of the game Asteroids.

Fair Use for Asteroids (game)

I believe this videogame screenshot should be considered fair-use because:-

1. It is used solely to improve the article's quality.
2. The image used was created by the uploader and was taken from an emulator.
3. No free-use image for this game exists.

This image is a screenshot from a video game, and its copyright is most likely held by the game's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution screenshots to visually identify the game in question on the English Misplaced Pages, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, constitutes fair use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image may be copyright infringement. For more information, see Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. Fair use //en.wikipedia.org/File:Asteroi1.png true

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Misplaced Pages:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for video game screenshots. Either of the following may be helpful for stating the rationale: Template:Game rationale or Template:Non-free use rationale video game screenshot. Additionally, please specify at least one platform in the first parameter. See usage below. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.
