[edit] Summary

Composite image made by A Man In Black (talk • contribs). I disclaim all copyright claim I might have (if any exists) to the public domain.

The right image is cropped from a promotional still from The Terminator, and the left image is cropped from the Japanese MSX cover of Metal Gear.

[edit] Licensing

This image is cover art for a computer or video game, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the game's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of game cover art

to illustrate the packaging of the game in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

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.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

[edit] Fair Use Rationale for Solid Snake

I, - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops), believe this image should be categorized under fair use in the above mentioned article because -

It is low resolution.
It does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the game.
Depicts subject discussed in article.
The photo is only being used for informational purposes. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
