[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 is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

[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)
