[edit] Licensing & Fair use
This is a screenshot of a non-free copyrighted video or computer game, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the company or person that developed the game. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law, as such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to generate profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise. See Wikipedia:Non-free content. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Note: This tag should not be used for screenshots of free software; use the license tag corresponding to the software's license instead, optionally alongside {{Free screenshot}}. |
The author asserts that the image qualifies fair use for the following reasons:
- Rockstar North and Rockstar Games have not release location-specific images into public domain.
- The image is necessary to describe the appearance of a unique location in Liberty City, as depicted in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
- The image serves to illustrate a location; nothing else.
- The screenshot is not intended to hinder the copyright owner's ability to sell the game.
- This image is a screenshot and thus immediately falls in fair use.
