[edit] Fair use for Balmung (.hack)

Though the picture is subject to copyright I (Kazu-kun) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

it is a low resolution copy of official artwork.
it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell any media of the franchise in any way.
it provides visual identification on Balmung, the fictional character which is the subject of the article.
there is no free alternative depicting this character.
The copyright is held by the studio Bandai
