[edit] Licensing: Fair use for list of characters in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and sub topics

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 for identification and critical commentary on the computer or video game in question or the copyrighted character(s) or item(s) depicted on the screenshot in question 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, 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 the image qualifies for fair use for the following reasons:

1. The image is intended to illustrate and identify one or more established characters in the game.
2. There is no intention to reveal any further details of the game aside the presence of the character itself through this image.
3. The image's resolution is deemed sufficiently reduced, if not already reduced when the image was originally uploaded. The maximum size of such images is 600x480 pixels wide; and is only to be used if the number of depicted characters demands it.
4. There are no free alternatives to this image as the screenshot is derivative of a copyrighted video game.
