[edit] Rationale of fair use for Perfect Dark

The image Image:Perfectdark1.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright, I (Soo 10:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

The image is of lower resolution than the original screenshot (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
No free or public domain images equivalent can be found, because this is an in-game screenshot.
The image does not limit the copyright owners' rights to distribute the video game in any way.
The image is being used for informational purposes only, to illustrate the model of Joanna Dark used in the game, and its use is not believed to detract from the original game in any way.
