[edit] Rationale for fair use in Parodius

The public display of the image is in no way detrimental to copyright holder's commercial interests
The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original game in any way.
This image has been used in several websites, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
The image is of lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of inferior quality)
No free or public domain images equivalent can be found, because this is the original artwork.

[edit] Licensing

constitutes fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.
